  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Green Manufacturing Processes and Systems

Part of the book series: Materials Forming, Machining and Tribology ((MFMT))

Abstract

The interest in pollution prevention is continuously growing. This determines several industries, including manufacturing, to develop and implement various environmentally-friendly strategies. Product design, selection of raw materials, manufacturing process, product delivery and reuse or recycling options for products’ end of life have influences for the of environmental degradation level. There is an ongoing search for new and innovative ways by which industry can lessen its impact on the environment. Efforts are currently focused to: efficient consumption of resources and conserve energy, minimize the environmental effects of energy production, improve waste management system. This chapter presents several aspects regarding the environmental impact of manufacturing process and the necessity of changed process for increasing their sustainability and thus, preventing polluting generation. It is mainly focused on investigating various aspects of machining process from an environmental perspective.
