Hello Greenmanufacturer.net Visitors!

New Age music is now more than 40 years old. So what is the “new” New Age of music … ambient, new wave, metaphysical, Krautrock …? Music is organic, and new genres will continually weave themselves into the current versions—or even uproot them. The same is true for media, sustainability, and manufacturing.

Ecoresponsible manufacturing is growing up and blending in. New approaches to sustainability have entered the realm, and better manufacturing has emerged as a result.

The way people attain information about sustainability is changing, and we are changing too. Green Manufacturer has transitioned from a primarily print magazine to a new media brand. Green Manufacturer has merged with our Network and is now Sustainable Manufacturer Network, reflecting our new approach to working toward our same mission of helping manufacturers implement sustainability into their plants and operations.

Now, Sustainable Manufacturer Network shares news, expertise, and resources via more frequently delivered digital communications, in-person events, webinars, social media, and this redesigned website.

I’ll still bring you the stories of exceptionally sustainable manufacturers, the technologies and approaches they use to achieve their successes and those that can empower yours in a monthly digital magazine, Sustainable Manufacturer Network e-zine.

We’ll continue to help you put those strategies to work in your own plants and connect with other ecosavvy manufacturers with expanded in-person events, educational workshops and conferences–including our first annual Sustainable Manufacturer Conference & Exhibits May 20-21, in Naperville (Chicago), Ill.

There are more reasons than ever for you to become a member of our engaging Network including a new way to communicate more easily with other members, exclusive discounts, and timely updates. I encourage you to consider joining so you can see for yourself how great it is to be in the company of other ecofriendly manufacturers–and how much you can learn. Sign up today and you’ll automatically begin receiving the Sustainable Manufacturer Network e-zine.

All roads lead home here, sustainablemfr.com, where a bevy of tips, articles, blogs, videos, and news are available to help you manage waste, energy, water, emissions, and materials in an economically sound, environmentally friendly way.

Welcome to the new, organic, ever-growing, ambient, new wave, metaphysical age of sustainable manufacturing.
