Description
Description | Clean by Design is a green fashion initiative under the Natural Resources Defense Council that aims to use the buying power of multinational corporations as a lever to reduce the environmental impacts of their suppliers abroad. Clean by Design focuses on improving process efficiency to reduce waste and emissions and improve the environment.
There are plenty of opportunities to improve efficiency in manufacturing processes while preserving product quality. And by reducing resource consumption, facilities can both save money and improve the environment. NRDC's Clean by Design program promotes these opportunities to increase efficiency (in energy, water, and chemical usage) and thereby reduce a factory's environmental footprint while saving it money. |
