Definition
Sustainable manufacturing has been defined by the International Trade Administration under the US Department of Commerce as “…the creation of manufactured products that use processes that minimize negative environmental impacts, conserve energy and natural resources, are safe for employees, communities, and consumers and are economically sound” (USDOC 2012). The US National Council for Advanced Manufacturing (NACFAM) contrasts this definition with the UN definition of a sustainable development given in the Brundtland report as a “Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” and extends the definition to address both the manufacturing of “sustainable” products and the sustainable manufacturing of all products, taking into account the full sustainability life cycle issues related to the products manufactured (NACFAM 2012...
