Sustainability and
Sustainable Manufacturing

3. Sustainable Development
• The Brundtland commission report, titled Our Common
Fire released in 1987 by United Nations World
Commission on Environment and Development (WCED)
defined sustainability and sustainable development as
"Development the meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet
their own needs“
Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland From Narway is known as
Mother of Sustainable Development Philosophy

4. Sustainability
• According to Dr. Dornfeld, Sustainability means activities
whose environmental impact is below the level that thyself
recovery capability of the natural environment can deal with.
• Prof. Dr. David A. Dornfeld, Laboratory of Manufacturing And
Sustainability (LMAS).University of California, Berkely

5. Three Pillars of Sustainability
Environmental
Economic
Social
Sustainability

6. Why Focus on Sustainably
• In last 50 years, humans have consumed more resources
than in all the previous history.
• In total, 60 billions tons of resources are extracted
annually, which is 50% more than just 30 years ago.
• As much fresh water has been withdrawn in last 30
years, as in last three centuries.
• Between 1950 to 2005, worldwide metals production
grew by 6 times, oil consumption 8 times and natural gas
consumption 14 times against the population grew by
2.25 times (approx. from 3 billions to 7 billions).

8. Why Sustainability in
Manufacturing
• Manufacturing is the most resource intensive processes of
all human activities.
• In European union, manufacturing accounts for 21% of
GDP and involves 20% of all jobs.
• Pakistan is expected to increase the share of
manufacturing in the overall economy to 18% by 2025
from the current 7%.

Asian Countries

10. Why Sustainable Manufacturing
• According to research, the manufacturing sector accounts
for more than a third of global CO2 emissions.
• Rising greenhouse emissions is the third most important
global risk. (After chronic fiscal imbalances and water
supply crisis)
• For sustainable manufacturing, there are a range of issues
we need to consider, including product design, innovation,
recycling, waste management, infrastructure, financing,
green pricing, renewables, life-cycle assessment,
governmental support, energy usage, available low-carbon
technologies, legislations, market conditions, consumer
needs and many more.

11. Why Sustainable Manufacturing
Manufacturing
Mechanical, physical and chemical
process to modify the geometry,
properties and appearance of a given
starting material in the making of
new finished part of product.
Sustainable Manufacturing
The creation of manufactured products
that use processes that are non-
polluting, conserve energy and natural
resources, and are economically sound
and safe for employees, communities,
and consumers.“

12. Sustainable Manufacturing Process
• Sustainable manufacturing processes are those which
generate minimum quantity of wastes, demonstrating
improved environmental performance and energy
efficiency while providing operational safety and
personal health.

13. Some Popular Words
