Sustainability for Manufacturers: Challenges, Nuances,
and Solutions
Organizational push for sustainability is forcing
manufacturers to consider their waste generation and plastic recycling practices,
in pursuit of new and creative waste management options that will maintain
product integrity while improving sustainability initiatives. Waste diversion
and management is not as simple as just “recycling”—especially in
manufacturing; caveats exist that complicate the process. Luckily, there are
ways to take challenging, high-environmental impact materials and dispose of
them in a creative and sufficient way, that meets specifications and
improves overall operational sustainability.
