Many people in discrete manufacturing are finding themselves navigating sustainability for the first time, only to realize that information is scattered, complex, and overwhelming. There’s no single blueprint for how to approach sustainability in this industry—so we wrote Product Sustainability For Dummies to be that guide. It’s a no-nonsense resource designed specifically for manufacturers and lifecycle practitioners who need clear, practical insights and strategies.
This book doesn’t focus on specific vendor software offerings. It focuses on the industry, processes, digital approaches, and business value of sustainability beyond just reducing environmental footprints. We cover proven methods for building sustainability programs, informed by hundreds of customer and partner collaborations around the world.
