  !Green practices meet economic value: achieving the waste-to-profit balance
One person's trash truly is another's treasure. At least, it is in the case of two Chicago-based manufacturers who got together via the Waste to Profit Network, a partnership between the City of Chicago and the Chicago Manufacturing Center. The sustainability program brings companies together to create synergies so that one company's waste can become another's raw material.

!Green means integration, not just energy efficiency
Green buildings are more about integrated solutions than single-issue resolution. As green fever spreads deeper into the manufacturing industry, plant engineers are going to be increasingly called to the table when facility decisions are being planned.

Drive Down the Energy Consumption of Your Assets

Established benchmarks from the U.S. Department of Energy and industry sources demonstrate that facilities and manufacturers can reduce energy consumption up to 20% through maintenance programs that focus on energy consumption and efficiency. If you are looking for a tool that allows you to factor energy consumption into your asset management strategy, watch this four-minute video now.

  !Do you think outside the box? Send us your best Tips & Tricks
The best solutions to manufacturing problems don't always come from inside a box. They come from the experience of the plant floor workers who use their knowledge to solve thorny problems with guile – and occasionally some other tools around the plant.
  !Grant supports application of technology to cut emissions from shuttle bus fleet
A new regenerative braking system that captures and stores a vehicle's kinetic energy is being implemented to the shuttle bus fleet after a similar implementation on a garbage truck fleet.
  !Are green initiatives a competitive weapon for manufacturers?
Adrian Gonzalez, a researcher for the ARC Advisory Group, discusses how sustainable supply chains can be a game-changer for manufacturers.
  !White paper: Greening industrial facilities
Authors David Love and Paul vonPaumgartten talk about the history of sustainability and some things manufacturers can do within their facilities to make them more cost effective while reducing their carbon footprint in this white paper from Johnson Controls. Process energy is included in the discussion.
