Green Shift: The Industry’s Eco Revolution

Share:

In the heart of the Midwest, a factory has emblazoned its mission statement, “Treat nature as a guest,” on its sign - symbolizing a profound shift in environmental responsibility among manufacturers. This marks a significant revolution in their mindset. Beyond merely enhancing efficiency, the factory is now dedicated to balancing operational performance with environmental stewardship, fostering sustainable relationships with the local community.

Shifting Mindset

Transitioning from a linear economy to a circular economy often highlights the manufacturing industries first, due to their significant resource consumption and waste generation. Despite this, many manufacturers still view green transformation as a burden, failing to recognize its long-term benefits. The primary impetus for green transformation currently stems from market demands and specific, quantifiable standards.

Even businesses with environmental management system certifications typically aim only to meet government and market requirements, without appreciating the true value of green transformation. In reality, green practices save energy and raw materials, reduce production costs, and provide a competitive advantage as customers increasingly favor environmentally friendly products.

Promoting Green Transformation

Advancing green transformation not only enhances export values but also improves the product value chain. Green products incorporate recycled materials, natural resources, or by-products from previous stages, optimizing resources and boosting product value.

Green Factory Transformation Model and Method

A green factory operates efficiently, optimizes resource and energy consumption, and minimizes greenhouse gas emissions. Achieving this requires integrating sustainable building architecture, construction materials, and operating equipment. Implementing green factory principles based on lean manufacturing and standards such as LEED, LOTUS, and EDGE optimizes operations, enhances business efficiency, and improves working conditions.

Green Factory Operation System

The factory, considered the "heart of the supply chain," must be set up correctly from the start to enhance competitiveness and ensure sustainable development. Traditional goals like quality, productivity, delivery time, and production costs must now encompass safety, environmental impact, energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, social responsibility, and green products.

Green Factory Management System

Green factories require an environmental management system to assess operational efficiency and prevent greenwashing. This system evaluates transformation results, enhances performance, and mitigates resource consumption and emissions. Companies that adopt standard environmental management systems generally possess more effective and extensive internal resources.

Success and Failure, Solutions for Vietnam

Amid rising pollution and stringent trade barriers, businesses face challenges in maintaining production and adapting factories to new standards. Small and medium enterprises in Vietnam, with their limited capacity and resources, need government and association support for green transformation.

Transforming factories and production processes necessitates not only general models and standards but also customization to the specific characteristics of the Vietnamese industry. This requires the involvement of organizations knowledgeable about Vietnamese technology and production activities within the broader manufacturing industry context.
