The scope of making a difference assumes a far bigger dimensions when sustainability products are used in the industrial/ Manufacturing sector. While many sectors will have to consider using sustainable products within the office premises, the manufacturing sector has the enormous advantage of using such products in their production, where the impact can be initiated far outside the office. This has has multiple benefits –
a. The scale suddenly becomes humungous, meaning more positive impact for every product that is used.
b. The no of products that can be considered for making an actual difference also increases due to the scale. For e.g., Packaging made with eco-friendly material can reduce the impact on landfill straightaway.
c. The usage of such eco-friendly products can be used as an opportunity for enhancing brand equity, where the customers and stakeholders are given the right message on the company’s environmental stand and commitment.
d. With larger volume, some of the sustainable products may also give a cost advantage, bringing home the financial benefit also, making it a no-brainer.
