Green Manufacturing Processes for Leading Industrial Sectors

Dear Colleagues,

Green manufacturing implies taking into account all aspects related with economic and sustainable development of factories. All developed and emerging countries are tightening their regulations around environmental issues, and the general population is day by day becoming more conscientious about preserving nature, production, and employment. Green practices are key in all leading manufacturing sectors, such as automotive, aeronautics, windmill, heavy duty production, foundries, forges, and others.

For example, the European program for aeronautics is named Clean Sky. In addition, there is a growing tendency for cars to be electrical, windmills are widespread over our landscapes, recycling industries are introducing new technologies, etc. Clean and lean manufacturing are common concepts.

The Special Issue is open for contributions both in technology aspects and workshops management, even industrial policies applied in industrialized regions.
