A Research on the Systematic Structure of Green Manufacturing and some Major Problems in its Implementation

Abstract:

Green manufacturing has been recently viewed as a necessary part of green design which has drawn international attention in view of its close focus on sustainable development. This paper firstly analyzes the concept and idea of green manufacturing, proposing an idea of understanding green manufacturing from the point of resources, environment and product life cycle as a cross-cutting area, then probe the systematic structure and some problems in studying and implementing green manufacturing.
