Green automation

Abstract

Examines the increasing trend in the United States for environmentally friendlier manufacturing processes and ways of making environmental clean‐up more affordable. Looks at the work of the Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing [ECM] programme to identify and solve major environmental problems through collaboration among manufacturers, government agencies and universities. Outlines some of the ECM programme goals and some of the on‐going projects such as finding alternatives to ozone‐depleting chemicals [ODCs].
