Patrick Lee, manufacturing specialist for MAS South East, said there are a number of commercial advantages to adopting a proactive interest in environmental best practice, including reduced energy costs, competitor differentiation and possibly even bonus payments made through the Carbon Reduction Commitment Efficiency Scheme.
“Environmental drivers and a low carbon economy are key to the future success of manufacturing in the UK,” he said, “Manufacturers should be looking to go greener, utilising the benefits of responsible manufacturing.”
