Sustainable Design & Manufacturing
Roundtable
John Viera, Director of Sustainability
and Environmental Matters, Ford Motor
Company
Over a hundred people
from industry, government, trade groups
and academia attended the NCMS
Sustainable Design & Manufacturing
Roundtable in Ann Arbor, MI on June
12. Attendees heard from national
sustainability experts and learned about
the Sustainability Assessment Tools
developed by NCMS with the EPA.
Presentations, photos, news coverage,
and podcasts are available at this link.
Feedback from this event
is driving the formation of a program to
further enhance the tools to help
manufacturers successfully merge
sustainability into their operations.
For more information about this effort
please contact NCMS Senior Program
Manager, Bill Chenevert (734) 995-7989
or Executive Director, Manish Mehta (734)
995-4938.

A
recent University of Michigan study
notes that factories produce about 75
percent of what we consume. The warning
that follows, though, indicates that as
much as 40 percent of that could go
overseas (or at least out of the United
States) if we make the wrong policy
decisions.
