The transition to a circular economy requires sustainable production. However, the diversity and complexity of the field pose challenges for companies. The Sustainable Manufacturing Expert Group strives for a common understanding of sustainable manufacturing. It facilitates access to expertise for researchers and industrial companies through events and publications. In this way, the group aims to contribute to the development of a sustainable industry in Switzerland.
