Abstract

The article addresses the issue of green manufacturing in the context of global trends of consumption for various types of industrial products, respecting the concepts of circular economy. The article focuses on impact of global trends of consumption on green manufacturing dimensions (research and design process, waste control, packaging control, manufacturing control and quality control) of Romanian industry sustainable development. The authors have achieved a “correlation matrix of green manufacturing dimensions and global trends of consumption for production systems”.

Highlights

In essence, sustainable consumption involves "the use of goods and services that satisfy basic needs and achieve a better quality of life, while minimizing the consumption of natural resources, the generation of toxic materials and the emission of increase waste recovery and pollutants on during a life cycle, so there is no risk inability to meet the general needs of future generations "(WBCSD, 2008) [1].The sustainable consumption requires social needs satisfaction only at a decent quality of life and does not affect the quality of life increase, contrary
Promoting sustainable consumption and development can be done by various companies of a series of products and services that maximize social value and minimize environmental effects
The renewable sources in Romania have the most competitive advantages and opportunities. Despite this fact and despite the significant potential for the development of this sector in Romania, these are only approached as another way of obtaining energy, not as one to which we should give priority
