Changemakers
Meet the Changemakers who are actively transforming industrial production by making it more sustainable and innovative.
Let’s prompt a shift in production
Production plants have a profound impact on our planet. By looking just at the energy use in factories, we can see that it is responsible for 25% of CO2 emissions worldwide. While factories set sustainability goals they are often not met and the issue remains unresolved. We need an active change and we need it fast.
At Making.com, we start the conversation. We ask technology providers to explain how their technology helps to make the products we need in a way that preserves our planet. We ask producers who are trailblazers in their field how their products contribute to a better tomorrow. We share this information so that you can make better-informed decisions.
