How can 'smart' lead to 'green' production?
Other conference contribution, 2025
Are digital technologies revolutionizing the way we make things? How can these technologies help us transition to a circular economy? Is circular economy the solution to our climate crisis? This talk will explore such questions and challenge the role manufacturing plays in our society. Sustainability thinking cannot be an afterthought or quick fix to our environmental problems. It needs to become a core design and operating principle to integrate environmental considerations as drivers of performance. Industrial ecology and eco-efficiency will also be discussed in the context of recent industrial developments to translate these concepts into engineering solutions.
