Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing: A Technology for the Nineties

Abstract
Environmentally conscious manufacturing involves developing and implementing manufacturing processes that minimize or eliminate hazardous chemical waste, reduce scrap, or are operationally safer. The benefits include safer and cleaner factories, reduced future costs for disposal and worker protection, reduced environmental and health risks, improved product quality at lower cost, and higher productivity. Sandia and AT&T are committed to environmentally conscious manufacturing.
