As declared by the GreenSmartMed project coordinator during the project Kick off meeting of last February, “Manufacturing can significantly contribute to ‘green growth’, fostering a climate-neutral, circular and clean industry“.
European industry is a world leader in several manufacturing sectors, an Italy, France, and Spain are three of the main European manufacturing countries per value of sold production.
But reductions in greenhouse gas emissions need to accelerate, as manufacturing is responsible for consuming 30% of the total energy produced.
