Description (excerpt):
Waste in manufacturing processes can often be difficult to reduce as compared to investigating alternate management options such as recycling. Upstream strategies in the waste management hierarchy are more impactful but need a deeper understanding and analysis of underlying manufacturing processes. Significant material savings can be achieved through waste reduction techniques of product redesign, various source reduction techniques, and optimal waste management. Newer research in circular economy, sustainability, and machine learning (ML) has made it feasible to apply artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to the established methods to simplify the approach as well as achieve results quickly.
