Designing sustainability-first solutions with Industry 4.0

The rapid advancement in technology and widespread industrialization across the world has led to growing concerns about its impact on our environment. Most traditional industries are typically the worst contributors of air pollution in the world –as per a WHO survey, 92% of the world’s population is impacted by poor air quality levels. The depletion of the ozone layer has been a widely discussed issue and continues to be a serious concern –as per the latest IPCC report the limit of +1.5°C set by the Paris Agreement will be reached by 2025. Moreover customer needs are changing and the demand for sustainable products is driving operational changes, specifically in the industrial manufacturing and consumer goods sectors.
