Implementation of Green Manufacturing in Global Industries

U. C. Jha

Abstract


Green manufacturing is not an option but a necessity for our well-being and survival. No manufacturing sector generates vast volumes of waste. Manufacturing is energy intensive and it approximately accounts 25% of the energy used in the world. Most of the energy is obtained via combustion process from coal, coke, natural gases, oil, and waste. All these processes generate greenhouse gases and large amount of various solid, liquid, and gaseous wastes whose disposal is a major problem. Various aspects of implementation of green manufacturing will be discussed with example from global industries.
