Sustainable Manufacturing Guides

Life-cycle thinking, energy, recycling, remanufacturing and critical materials.

the difference between renewable feedstock, biodegradability and compostability.

energy, material yield, durability, emissions and resource efficiency across production.

raw material, production, transport, use, repair and end-of-life considered together.

repair, reuse, remanufacturing, recycling and design for disassembly.

mechanical, thermal and chemical recovery concepts for fiber composites.

restoring used products to a defined performance condition.

process heat, motor systems, compressed air, cooling, idle time and yield.
