Sustainable Manufacturing in Europe - Potentialities for clean products and production in the process chain

The FP6 Coordination action CleanProd in cooperation with the European Technology Platform Manufuture cordially invites you to a workshop on 1st October in Brussels on: 

Sustainable Manufacturing in Europe Potentialities for clean products and production in the process chain
from forming to surface finishing 

Place:    Representation of Baden-Wuerttemberg at the European Union, Rue Belliard 60-62, Brussels

Date:     Wednesday 1st October 2008

Time:     9h00 – 13h30 

Industrial manufacturing processes represent multiple opportunities for producing goods in a more environmentally friendly way. The CleanProd project explored strategies to set European manufacturing on the trajectory towards cleaner production processes with an impressive potential impact on reducing both costs and environmental problems, such as GHG emissions, volatile organic compounds, waste water, and resource intensity.

The workshop will feature the results of the CleanProd project – an R&D roadmap for cleaner production in forming, surface preparation and surface finishing processes by 2020 – and link this to examples of practical implementation of cleaner production in SMEs. It will also explore the incorporation of cleaner production strategies into the work of the European Platform on Future Manufacturing Technologies.

We very much hope you will be able to attend.To register for the workshop send an email to katharina.krell@greenovate.eu with your coordinates to make sure a place is reserved for you.
