विनिर्माण दुनिया भर में प्रदूषण के सबसे बड़े स्रोतों में से एक है, और इसमें बदलाव की संभावना नहीं है क्योंकि उत्पादों की उपभोक्ता मांग लगातार बढ़ रही है। औद्योगिक प्रक्रियाएँ, विशेष रूप से खनन और विनिर्माण में, ऐतिहासिक रूप से मृदा प्रदूषण में प्रमुख योगदानकर्ता रही हैं, और रसायनों का उपयोग - फार्मास्यूटिकल्स को छोड़कर - 2030 तक 85 प्रतिशत तक बढ़ने का अनुमान है। हालाँकि, जब जलवायु कार्रवाई की बात आती है तो निर्माताओं को निष्क्रिय नहीं रहना चाहिए। उन्हें कचरे को कम करने और टिकाऊ भूमि उपयोग को बढ़ावा देने में सक्रिय भूमिका निभानी चाहिए। कचरे को कम करके, समुदाय बेहतर तरीके से संरक्षित होते हैं और उन उद्यमों द्वारा नकारात्मक रूप से प्रभावित नहीं होते हैं जो प्रदूषण को कम करने और प्राकृतिक पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र को संरक्षित करने वाली गतिविधियों के साथ क्षेत्र के बेहतर पर्यावरणीय स्वास्थ्य का नेतृत्व कर रहे हैं।
How can manufacturers take a leading role? Firstly, they can decrease their ecological footprints and use land sustainably by reducing waste, beginning with recycling, composting, and responsible consumption. According to McKinsey & Co., the world needs an additional 70-80 million hectares of land to fulfil humanity’s needs for food and fuel. Where will this habitable land come from? While this is a problem for everyone, manufacturers must act swiftly to establish a solid foundation for sustainable land use soon and set the benchmark for other sectors to follow.
यहां बताया गया है कि आप किस प्रकार हरित विनिर्माण तकनीक अपना सकते हैं और वृत्तीय अर्थव्यवस्था के सिद्धांतों को अपना सकते हैं, जैसे अपशिष्ट को न्यूनतम करना, उत्पाद के पुनः उपयोग को बढ़ावा देना, तथा अधिक जिम्मेदार भूमि प्रबंधन और भूमि पुनर्जनन दृष्टिकोण के लिए संसाधन दक्षता को अनुकूलित करना।
इन प्रथाओं को प्रभावी ढंग से लागू करने के लिए, उपभोक्ता स्थिरता उद्योग तत्परता सूचकांक (COSIRI), a widely recognised framework for assessing sustainability maturity across key areas like the shop floor, supply chain, logistics, strategy, and risks. It provides CEOs with crucial insights for strategic decision-making, promoting sustainable practices in operations. Ready to make a significant business impact?

Frequently Asked Questions About Strategies for Sustainable Land Use in Manufacturing
How Can Waste Be Transformed Into Value in Industrial Land Use?
Waste can be transformed into value in industrial land use by repurposing materials, reclaiming brownfield sites, using byproducts for energy or construction, and integrating circular economy principles into site development.
What Are the Benefits of Sustainable Land Use for Manufacturers?
Sustainable land use helps manufacturers reduce environmental risks, lower operational costs, improve compliance with ESG standards, enhance brand reputation, and unlock new revenue through waste-to-value innovations.
How Does Land Use Planning Support Environmental Sustainability?
Land use planning supports environmental sustainability by reducing habitat disruption, managing resources efficiently, preventing soil and water pollution, and enabling the reuse of existing industrial sites.
What is the Role of the Circular Economy in Sustainable Land Use?
The circular economy plays a key role in sustainable land use by promoting material reuse, minimising waste, and encouraging closed-loop systems where land, resources, and infrastructure are optimised for long-term use.
What Are Examples of Waste-to-value Strategies in Manufacturing?
Examples include using manufacturing byproducts for energy generation, converting industrial waste into raw materials for other processes, and reclaiming land for green spaces or renewable energy installations.
How Can Brownfield Sites Be Repurposed for Sustainable Use?
Brownfield sites can be repurposed through soil remediation, infrastructure upgrades, and integration of sustainable design principles, turning unused or contaminated land into productive, eco-friendly industrial or community assets.
How Does Sustainable Land Use Contribute to Esg Goals?
Sustainable land use contributes to ESG goals by reducing environmental impact (E), supporting local communities through responsible development (S), and aligning land management with transparent governance practices (G).
What Challenges Do Companies Face in Implementing Sustainable Land Use Strategies?
Challenges include high remediation costs, regulatory complexity, lack of technical expertise, stakeholder resistance, and limited access to sustainable materials or financing options for site redevelopment.
