Environmentally conscious manufacturing involves developing and implementing manufacturing processes that minimize or eliminate hazardous chemical waste, reduce scrap, or are operationally safer. The benefits include safer and cleaner factories, reduced future costs for disposal and worker protection, reduced environmental and health risks, improved product quality at lower cost, and higher productivity. Sandia and AT&T are committed to environmentally conscious manufacturing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
