How to become a leader in sustainability
This e-Report will guide you through six steps towards a greener future and how you can implement digital technology into sustainable design and manufacturing.
Customer demand is constantly changing
Imagine being able to respond to on-demand changes almost instantly. Better yet – designing intelligent products sustainably, faster and with less cost. What if you could minimize the amount of energy required to manufacture and distribute your products? Or significantly reduce waste and resources in engineering, sourcing, and manufacturing processes and maximize productivity? There is no need to imagine. These possibilities are already being implemented by many companies in many sectors. Digital technology ensures sustainability in the way we design, source, and manufacture our intelligent products.
What sustainability innovators are saying:
“Everything we do needs to be done efficiently, and with minimal impact on the environment. Mitigating climate change is at the core of our sustainability efforts: We want to achieve fossil free mills by 2030, with zero fossil CO2 emissions. We quickly came to realize that we needed to accelerate our rate of innovation to stay ahead of the competition. We felt the traditional way of optimizing material and design solutions for packaging took too much time.”
Markku Leskelä, Metsä Board’s Vice President of Research and
Product Development.

1. Life Cycle Assessment
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the ability to fully understand how sourcing, design and manufacturing will impact the environmental footprint of your product — from CO2 emissions to water usage, acidification and more.
2. DIGITAL TWIN TECHNOLOGY
Incorporate sustainability into your product during the design and development phase. Mitigate Accelerating sustainability with digital twin technology can contribute significantly to reducing emissions to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
3. Virtual testing capability
Incorporate sustainability into your product during the design and development phase. Mitigate risks, reduce costs, and shorten time-to-market. Increase revenue by making informed and data-driven decisions before prototyping. This is what digital twins and virtual testing empowers you to do.
4. Sourcing & raw materials
With a Parts Standardizations Program you set the rules for how a product can be engineered and designed.
5. Reduce waste in manufacturing
if the MBOM and the EBOM are disconnected digitally, then adjustments in EBOM will not automatically be transferred and updated in the MBOM. This disconnection is a major source of waste in manufacturing. Being able to store the same product data in every step of the manufacturing process is key to adhering to sustainable manufacturing principles.
6. Configure to Order
The configure to order approach delivers innovative custom solutions, not repetitive processes. Don’t reinvent the wheel for each customer’s unique needs, set up a foundation of success to design on top of.
