The Sustainable Manufacturing two-day workshop educates participants in sustainable manufacturing practices that prevent pollution, reduce toxins and waste, reduce energy and compliance costs while impacting the bottom line. Topics include water conservation, air pollution solutions, solid waste management, toxic waste minimization, energy management, and sustainable manufacturing topics.
Course Agenda:
• Water Conservation – Learn about sustainable water management and methods to reduce consumption and wastewater treatment costs while conserving an increasingly valuable resource.
• Air Pollution Solutions – Learn methods and practices to reduce air emissions and improve work environments and reduce environmental impacts.
• Solid Waste Management – Roadmap to Zero Landfill – Learn the fundamentals of solid waste management through implementing the “4Rs” — Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and participating in a “Waste Sort” exercise.
• Toxic Waste Minimization – Intro to Green Chemistry – Apply green chemistry principles and techniques throughout the business – from cleaning to machining – to meet regulatory requirements and provide a healthier, safer environment.
• Energy Management – Learn how to understand utility bills, measure and calculate energy usage, and evaluate energy reduction opportunities.
• Sustainable Manufacturing – Understand global business conditions and the need for integrating sustainability into existing continuous improvement initiatives.
Waste Stream Mapping provides a VSM like tool that will help companies identify waste stream opportunities focusing on energy, solid waste, water or hazardous wastes. Participants will learn how things currently operate, identify improvement areas, develop an implementation plan and finally make the change for an environmentally-preferred future state.
This two-day conference and tabletop exhibit is dedicated to answering the question, “How do I make my manufacturing operation more sustainable?”. Featuring an array of high-quality educational and networking opportunities to sharpen leadership, management, and technical know-how; it will bring all the elements a manufacturer needs to know in order to adopt or enhance green practices together, in one location, at one time,

Join us as we sit down with Tessa Vlaanderen, the founder of Circular Futures, a New York City-based consulting group and think tank, and Sue Ide, ISSP-SA, to learn about:
- What is a circular economy
- The power of the circular economy concept and how it relates to the ‘traditional’ sustainability field
- The paradigm shift: develop new ways to create value
- The importance of systems thinking and innovation in transitioning to a circular economy
- Circular economy initiatives in New York City
- The existing circular economy engine of the US: the remanufacturing industry
- Other inspiring examples
PRESENTERS:
Tessa Vlaanderen is the founder of Circular Futures and co-founder of the Circular Economy Network.
She has supported a broad range of organizations in catalyzing and accelerating the growth of circular business. Gaining experience in The Netherlands, frontrunner in the generation of circular solutions, she worked with organizations including the Port of Rotterdam, waste management firm Van Gansewinkel (now Shanks Group), the Rabobank, multinational chemical firm DSM, regional economic development organizations, research institutions, and startups. In New York, she has been involved with circular initiatives in the built environment, product recovery, and digitization. She recently published the report “Accelerating Growth of the US Remanufacturing Industry,” arguing the US is and can remain a leader in the field of circular economy.
Prior to being a circular economy consultant, she worked in product R&D and commercialization, process and business improvement, emission reduction and operational excellence at Shell Global Commercial and Shell Downstream Manufacturing.
Tessa holds a Master’s degree in Sustainable Process and Energy Technology and a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, both from the Delft University of Technology.
