committing to physical build. This takes all of the risk out of committing to, and investing in infrastructure that may not be fit for purpose. The amount of waste, in terms of both actual parts and workforce time, can be substantial if mistakes are made repeatedly. Therefore, a virtual world build is often a fantastic way to make your operations leaner and greener. For example, DELMIA helps organizations
achieve greener manufacturing by enabling the simulation of products and processes and optimizing "first time right" plans through data- driven decision-making. In supply chain planning, DELMIA helps bring sustainability to the forefront by measuring the relevant key performance
indicators, such as pollution and CO2 emissions, scrap, and raw material usage. By adopting green manufacturing, companies can decrease carbon emissions and waste across production processes and the value network. In addition, improved materials use helps businesses lower costs and enhance their bottom line.
Use of sustainable materials Reduce waste, recycle, and consider second-life products to achieve circular economy Promoting a circular economy in your business
is essential to meeting sustainability targets, as it enables your business to vastly reduce the amount of product waste created. A circular economy is based on the principles of reusing and regenerating materials or products, in order
to continue production of products in a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way. In recent years, circular economies have become extremely popular in nearly all sectors, as businesses look for ways to cut their carbon emissions and waste products. There are four key steps to a circular economy:
Sourcing – understanding material impact and external factors affecting a business. Being conscious about the raw materials you utilise and also considering the use of natural resources that aren’t renewable or recyclable.
Manufacture – look to incorporate eco- friendly design into your processes, whilst also maximising efficient manufacturing processes and distribution across your business.
Use – optimise your processes to ensure products are built to last and focus on providing your customers with a use, repair and reuse loop.
Recovery – offer collection on products at the end of their lifecycle and where possible, recycle the products.
Showcasing that you are embracing a circular economy to prospective clients can help your business stand out in a crowded market, as more
and more businesses are becoming concious about how seriously their suppliers are taking climate action. Being able to show how your products are created with end of life recycling in mind is a great way to not only reduce your overall carbon footprint, but also entice new clients with your eco-friendly practices. There is no getting away from the factthatas manufacturers, we all need to do what we can to protect the environment. Even making the smallest change to our
existing processes can go a long way to reducing carbon emissions, so it is essential that firms take a minute to consider what aspects of their operations could be run more effectively. Doing this will not only help reduce emissions, but it may well even save you some time and money in the long run too!
