ABSTRACT
The manufacturing industry can develop green products that can meet the sustainability requirements. Life cycle analysis design for environment and toxic use reduction are elements that help sustainability. Design of products that emphasizes efficient use of energy and materials reuse and recycling reduces waste and supports sustainability. The term “sustainability” has many different meanings to different people. In addition, a brief description of a perturbation analysis for project optimization is presented; other consideration, including regulatory compliance, reduction in liability, enhanced public image, etc., should also be included in the analysis. One area of focus for CSTP is the development of a Sustainability Roadmap, which is designed to improve decision making relative to sustainability. However, unless humans embrace sustainability, they will ultimately deplete Earth's resources and damage its environment to an extent that conditions for human existence on the planet will be seriously compromised or even become impossible.
