ABSTRACT

Sustainability enhancement has been a recent trend in the manufacturing industries that are responding to the call on environment, social and governance (ESG). However, many industrial practitioners are lack of sufficient resources to perform sustainability enhancement for their corporation. In this talk, some established methods for enhancing sustainability aspects for the manufacturing industry will be presented, such as carbon footprint reduction, thermal energy recovery, waste reduction, etc.  Apart from enhancing sustainability, these initiatives always lead to side benefits such as cost cutting and yield improvements.
