Environment

The environment is one of the main challenges of our times and innovation should aim to

• the development of a common standard to measure and quantify energy and environmental loads, the potential impact of a product, a process or an activity thoughout their lifecycle;
• strategies to reduce the presence of hazardous chemicals (with reference to REACH and ROHS directives) in manufacturing processes;
• solutions to produce cleaner machines, with mechanical processes using less oil and less pollutants.
