N2 - Manufacturing is an important pillar of the society
providing goods and services of primary importance for
supporting the quality of human life. One of the most
pressing challenges facing Europe and the world is the
need for a transition to resource-efficient economy.
Sustainability, in a manufacturing context, means
enabling a diverse pool of industrial participants to
pursue economic growth without undermining social and
environmental issues of workforce management, building
community relations, use of natural resources, carbon
dioxide emissions, waste management and product and
services responsibility. This chapter discusses on the
relevance of sustainability from manufacturing
perspective, sustainable manufacturing definition,
strategies, impacts and approaches and describes a
roadmap for sustainable manufacturing.
