PARTNER EVENT by SIR, EXTEND, NMIS and Zero Waste Scotland
As Scotland moves towards its Net Zero 2045 commitments all carbon generating activities need to be minimised as a priority by manufacturers. This is a huge challenge that requires engagement from stakeholders, companies involved in manufacturing, and their supply chains.
Sustainable Manufacturing has become the key focus as we look to reduce our carbon footprint through more energy efficient process, less wastage, shorter supply chains, and the life extension of products through better design and remanufacturing.
Join this event to learn from manufacturers, sustainable manufacturing experts, and stakeholders. Listen to keynote speakers who will share their experiences and opportunities on how you can benefit from adopting more sustainable processes in manufacturing, the supply chain, and usage of products and services.
A series of breakout sessions will introduce practical concepts associated with carbon reduction in businesses, opportunities for training, and new industry sectors.
