Sustainable Manufacturing promotes the creation of products using processes that are non-polluting, conserve energy and natural resources, and are economically sound and safe for employees, communities, and consumers. In this lecture, Professor Anjali De Silva explores how sustainable manufacturing allows industry to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. She draws on her own, and global, research and developments in advanced machining which enhance environmental sustainability by curbing the consumption of vital resources and reducing CO2 and other emissions.
