Consumers are beginning to realize that the products they use leave a lingering “environmental footprint”. They are not simply receiving this message from fringe groups like the so-called “tree huggers” but rather from mainstream media citing real-world examples of successful corporations like PepsiCo, Kraft Foods, 3M, Abbott, Dow Chemical, Johnson & Johnson, and Procter & Gamble which have already implemented far reaching sustainability measures. This trend is apt to continue with more and more companies, either voluntarily or under market and regulatory pressures, implementing sound sustainability systems and procedures – the integration of social, environmental and economic considerations into product, process and energy systems’ design as well as the consideration of impact over the complete product and process lifecycle.
