Ensure sustainable manufacturing with green configuration
Author: Johan Salenstedt
More and more, consumers are choosing sustainable products. In fact, one survey found that 60% of respondents are willing to spend more on eco-friendly products. Another survey showed that 20% of consumers believed that knowing a company is environmentally friendly was a major purchase driver. These decisions aren’t limited to clothing lines or farming practices; they cover all sectors. That means manufacturers, including B2B manufacturers, need to take note. According to the latest figures available from the Environmental protection Agency, manufacturing and industrial firms contributed 23% of greenhouse gas emissions in 2019. This includes burning fossil fuels for energy, to emissions from certain chemical reactions to produce goods from raw materials. That study was done over two years ago, so it will likely be even higher now.
