I seldom hear from PTC anymore what with some of the areas interesting to me being devalued. This blog post came to my attention. I know that “sustainability” can be a political phrase, but I view it from the standpoint of Lean—waste avoided.
Product Sustainability For Dummies: A Practical Guide, which details how the company continues to demonstrate its leadership in product sustainability with its new guide for manufacturing/product leaders.
Many people in discrete manufacturing are finding themselves navigating sustainability for the first time, only to realize that information is scattered, complex, and overwhelming. There’s no single blueprint for how to approach sustainability in this industry—so we wrote Product Sustainability For Dummies to be that guide. It’s a no-nonsense resource designed specifically for manufacturers and lifecycle practitioners who need clear, practical insights and strategies.
This book doesn’t focus on specific vendor software offerings. It focuses on the industry, processes, digital approaches, and business value of sustainability beyond just reducing environmental footprints. We cover proven methods for building sustainability programs, informed by hundreds of customer and partner collaborations around the world.
Inside, you’ll find:
- How to profitably incorporate sustainability in product lifecycle designs and execution
- Strategies for decarbonizing, controlling hazardous materials, and improving circularity
- Insights into evolving regulations and how to stay ahead of compliance challenges
- Value drivers of sustainability beyond regulatory compliance
