Abstract
Sustainability refers to the use of available resources in such a way that their scarcity does not affect the future generation. Nowadays, another word that goes hand in hand with sustainability is “Green”. Though sustainability and green have different definitions, they are used synonymously in the context of the present scenario in manufacturing. In the manufacturing industry, the application of less polluting energy sources, recycling of raw materials, and using processes that are less harmful to the environment are some of the methods that can contribute toward achieving sustainability. Sustainable manufacturing is a concept that has been evolving continuously since its inception. To realize sustainability in manufacturing, the idea of sustainability must be accompanied by certain tools and methods along with implantation policies. One such method to maintain sustainability is to reduce the amount of carbon emission during manufacturing. This chapter discusses different aspects of sustainability in the context of manufacturing. The strategies to attain the goal of achieving sustainability in manufacturing have been explained elaborately. Moreover, different approaches adopted to maintain sustainability in the field of manufacturing have been reviewed and extensively discussed.
