Description
The introduction of the thesis is focused on this chapter. It includes a brief introduction
about Green Manufacturing (GM), sustainability, energy-efficient processes to reduce waste
and emission, and subsequent reduction in carbon footprint to affect climate positively. It also
includes challenges and difficulties to have a sustainable auto industry. The organization of
the thesis and its objectives are also presented here. This thesis is mainly centered on
understanding the green practices adopted in manufacturing in the Indian automotive sector
and their effect on society. The methodology is predominantly qualitative, and various
research methods were used, namely: primary data analysis and secondary data analysis, and
interviews. In today's world, pollution has become a significant problem.
Green Manufacturing refers to optimizing the manufacturing process and wallowing
towards achieving manufacturing efficiency on hand, and avoiding unnecessary waste that
pollutes the environment. While manufacturing goods, wastages are produced at various
levels, which require necessary attention while disposing of them. Chemical waste is disposed
at rivers, and polluting smoke from chimneys has done a significant amount of damage to the
environment. Therefore, there is a need to implement and monitor the Green Manufacture
system before pollution reaches an extreme level.
The ideology of the Green Manufacturing system revolves around reducing environmental
impact by reducing wastages and recycling them, which reduces harmful effects caused by the
traditional manufacturing system. It helps reduce wastages and manufacturing costs, but it
also allows an organization to reduce costs and reap profits.
