Envirowise webinar encourages carbon reduction
Envirowise
Carbon-reduction webinar
Envirowise is encouraging manufacturers to put carbon reduction higher on their management agenda by adopting cleaner design principles.
The call comes as measures to cut the nation's collective CO2 emissions are being ramped up in the UK via the Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency Scheme, which opens for registrations on 1 April.
Free, practical advice is being made available to help companies become more carbon literate through more effective use of cleaner design, which can help to significantly reduce raw material and energy use.
A live webinar is being held on the 17th February at 10am, featuring talks from Envirowise eco-design specialists Rob Holdway and Mark Dowling.
The session - which is open to businesses of all sizes and sectors - will focus on carbon as a measure of a company's environmental performance.
Live demonstrations from case study companies, including Canon and Paladone Products, will demonstrate how they made changes themselves and harnessed the benefits of 'clean' design.
This is being supported by a series of interactive video design stories, illustrating how UK businesses have used eco-design to reduce the environmental impact of products and packaging.
Sony Computer Entertainment talks about the Playstation 3; 3M demonstrates its protective packaging; Vivid Imaginations discusses how Envirowise helped reduce its packaging; and ICI Paints Akzonobel introduces its range of eco-paints.
