クリーンテクノロジーかエンドオブパイプか：メーカーはどちらを選択すべきでしょうか？
When you think about manufacturing, what comes to mind? Perhaps it’s the hum of machinery or the intricacy of assembly lines. However, beyond these familiar sights and sounds, the global environmental, social and governance (ESG) movement is vastly reshaping the industry’s traditional image. ESG has become a top priority in boardrooms across the world, meaning that manufacturers are increasingly turning to eco-friendly practices and technologies to respond to mounting pressure for compliance. When considering which technologies to invest in, there are two main categories for leaders to take note of: “clean technology” and “end-of-pipe technology.” While both aim to mitigate environmental impact, they are significantly different approaches. Understanding the strengths […]
注目のトレンド: スマート製造業を変革するトップ 7 のクリーンテクノロジー ソリューション
In today’s fast-paced manufacturing landscape, leaders are actively transforming their operations with cutting-edge innovations, seamlessly integrating sustainability and technology in harmony with Industry 4.0. Manufacturers now have the power to revolutionise their smart manufacturing processes using cutting-edge cleantech solutions. They are using hydrogen to power their operations, a roboctopus to handle delicate items such as fruit and vegetables, and switching to eco-friendly packaging like biodegradable fungi boxes—these are just a few examples of how cleantech is reshaping the industry. Smart manufacturing is not just adopting cleantech; it is driving rapid integration, providing businesses with significant competitive advantages. This rapid adoption of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) friendly solutions has increased […]
クリーンテクノロジーでネットゼロを達成する: 透明性が重要な理由
In the race towards net zero, the manufacturing sector has joined many other global industries that are furiously working towards becoming more sustainable. To navigate the path to decarbonisation and reduce their environmental footprint, manufacturing leaders will require more cutting-edge technologies, such as cleantech. The Cambridge Dictionary defines clean technology or cleantech as a solution that prevents harm to the environment. Recycling and renewable energy are good examples of cleantech. Although cleantech is gaining momentum as a critical solution, as investments grow, stakeholders are demanding greater transparency to ensure accountability. Cleantech funding soars, but there’s a catch According to Statista, in 2023, global investments in low-carbon cleantech soared by 17 […]
Smart Sustainable Manufacturing – bringing together cleantech and advanced manufacturing
The rise of automation, machine learning and advanced technology in recent years has accelerated the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry, leading to smarter and more efficient manufacturing processes. Through this integration of recent technological advancements into various processes and systems, manufacturing businesses have managed to boost productivity and efficiency – but more importantly, become more flexible, agile and future-ready. Now, with attention firmly on environmental and social responsibility, smart manufacturing has shifted towards greener, more sustainable practices. Time is running out for the world to reach net zero by 2050; and stricter environmental regulation, increasing investor requirements and changing customer expectations, among other factors, are pushing sustainability to the […]
