In our current system, we take materials from the Earth, make products from them, use these products for a while, and throw them away as waste.
How manufacturers can apply smart buildings technologies to decarbonize operations

Gianluca Cassanova at ABB Electrification's Smart Buildings, explains how the application of smart buildings technologies can help multiple industries close the gap on sustainable manufacturing, the circular economy and the goal of zero waste to landfill.
Leveraging Technology for Developing the Circular Economy

Circular economy practices that prevent goods from going to landfills - by encouraging reuse or recycling - can help. However, these practices aren't always easy to implement. Brands are experimenting with Industry 4.0 technology that may streamline the circular approach.
What Does a Circular Economy Look Like in the Manufacturing Industry?
Embracing the circular economy means trading straight lines and dead ends in landfills for a true reduce-and-recycle mentality: one that lets far less material, energy and effort go to waste.
