One-fifth of the world's carbon emissions and more than 50 percent of global energy consumption are today attributed to the manufacturing and production sector. Adopting eco-friendly practices is the only way to reduce energy consumption, minimize waste, and lower greenhouse gas emissions. According to a study by the World Economic Forum, sustainable manufacturing practices, such as implementing green packaging, could result in a 90 percent decrease in water use and a 40 percent decrease in energy consumption.
