BEING SUSTAINABLE TO BE SUSTAINABLE

The month of March is recognized as the observation of various environmental awareness days, such as World Water Day, Earth Hour Day, World Forestry Day, and so on, emphasizing the need to conserve our precious natural resources.

With each passing day, it is evident that the more we adopt sustainable practices, the better our future will be. Thankfully, we are seeing the emergence of the latest sustainability trends, which are bringing change across various sectors in India.

Keeping in sync with its global contemporaries, the Indian manufacturing sector is adopting sustainable practices to reduce its impact on the environment. Organizations are making investments in innovative technologies to drive sustainability across their operations. Starting from focusing on energy efficiency measures to circular economy initiatives, manufacturing enterprises are implementing sustainable water management practices, like reusing water, reducing water waste, and improving water efficiency.

To this end, we foresee the deployment of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Internet of Things (IoT), Automation, Industry 4.0, and Blockchain to track and monitor resource use, improve supply chain transparency, reduce waste, and accelerate sustainable practices.

Speaking of the latest technologies, the recently concluded IMTEX 2023, Tooltech 2023 & Digital Manufacturing 2023 showcased how new innovations are facilitating companies in adopting cost-effective, sustainable, and eco-friendly manufacturing processes.

In this present issue, we are privileged to share best practices, success stories, and the views of industry experts on the future manufacturing trends that would contribute to making India a bigger economy globally.

“If you want to save the humankind, you should first take care of Nature. It's the legacy that we leave behind, That brings us hope, that's for sure!
