Manufacturers in the UK are aware of the benefits that a sustainable manufacturing strategy can bring such as increased operational efficiency, reduction in costs and waste, reduced carbon footprint, reputation strengthening and public trust. However, there is confusion over how best to incorporate it into existing products and processes.

Similarly, embracing the circular economy by designing products in a smarter way using reusable and recyclable environmentally friendly materials so that each product at end of life becomes a new resource is becoming a priority in establishing a sustainable way ahead.

Sustainable Manufacturing Summit is the UK’s largest gathering of manufacturing professionals – 100 sustainability-minded executives from the UK’s largest automotive, aerospace, defence, electronics, pharma, food and electronics manufacturers, coming together to talk about the role of sustainability in their businesses.

Sustainable Manufacturing Summit brings together CEOs, CTOs and Heads of Sustainability, Corporate Social Responsibility, Operations, Manufacturing, Engineering & Production in an interactive conference format that sits them alongside some of the UK’s most sophisticated sustainability practitioners – and experts from world class technology companies.
