The theme of sustainability is one of the most current of our time, which is why, today more than ever, theengineering industry, as well as the industry in general, is called upon to demonstrate a commitment significant in the promotion of sustainability.
This commitment is not only limited to the adoption of sustainable raw materials, but also requires strong caution towards'optimization complete of processes and supply chain.
At the basis of a more sustainable approach in the management of processes and raw materials, there is certainly the adoption of the principles ofThe circular economy. This economic model is in fact based on reuse, reconditioning e recycling of products and materials, with the purpose of increase its life cycle e reduce so he waste related to their possible disposal.
THEaluminum, for example, being a material with a long useful life, lends itself very well to recycling: it is actually possible to recycle this material without its properties of hardness, conductivity and corrosion resistance are affected. To date, according to Italy for Climate, theItaly stands out as main producer European of recycled aluminium: this allowed a reduction of the 60% of the emissions produced byutilization of this material by the metalworking industry, making the country one of the fundamental players in the aluminum decarbonisation process.
Also theintegration di technologies advance for the stock management and production is contributing to an important one reduction of waste and to a improvement ofefficiency overall of companies. The digitalisation of business management allows metalworking companies to to monitor in real time theutilization of the supplies, program and standardize processesand thus reduce waste.
Therefore, if the choice to use raw materials with low environmental impact is increasingly common, it is also necessary to focus on the adoption of management strategies that truly aim to reduce energy and resource consumption.
Collaboration with suppliers who promote ethics and sustainable solutions to reduce the impact of the entire production chain is also essential. In fact, according to EcoVadis, at least the 70% ofimpact Commitment and environmental of acompany derives from his providers. Therefore, to identify and address potential problems related to practices which are not encouraging the development of solutions e sustainable technologies, is essential for metalworking companies evaluate carefully also its suppliers.
Follow and adopt sustainable practices not only responds to current environmental needs, but offers numerous metalworking companies benefits in terms of competitiveness, optimization of processes e data management; of the resources.
