United Kingdom - “Sustainable Manufacturing Conference & Exhibition.” —(March 2022)

The Sustainable Manufacturing Conference & Exhibition, scheduled to take place on March 10, 2022, at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes, has extended an invitation to the International Entrepreneurs Association (IEA, UK) to participate as one of its supporting partners. This event provides attendees with the chance to listen to professionals who are knowledgeable in the implementation of Net Zero objectives.

The United Kingdom has experienced a significant reduction of 57 percent in manufacturing emissions since 1990. This decline can be attributed primarily to structural modifications and enhancements in efficiency. However, achieving the objectives outlined in the Sixth Carbon Budget, which are crucial for attaining the overarching government objective of achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050, will pose considerable challenges. The United Kingdom will implement a novel tax on plastic packaging commencing on April 1, 2022. The primary objective of the tariff is to provide incentives for the utilization of recycled material in the manufacturing process of plastic packaging.

Sustainable manufacturing entails optimizing the design of commonly utilized items while minimizing the environmental repercussions associated with the industrial resources necessary for their production. The manufacturing sector is poised to play a significant role in the attainment of the goal of generating net zero carbon emissions by the year 2050. Participate in this event to gain insight into the equitable significance and imperative nature of addressing both digitalization and sustainability, and the necessity to adopt and implement measures in these domains. The expenditures associated with non-labor resources in manufacturing operations consistently surpass those of labor utilization. The argument advocating for the reduction of energy, raw materials, and other resources expended is supported by both financial and environmental considerations. This event aims to equip engineers with knowledge on effectively adopting resource productivity through the integration of existing best practices. It also seeks to foster extensive peer-to-peer communication and emphasize the powerful synergy between digital technologies and sustainable strategies in achieving successful outcomes.

With three-quarters of the region’s population still facing insufficient access to financial services, the demand for FinTech solutions has never been higher.

The Forum will also hear how the UK is supporting ASEAN by looking at intra-regional and extra-regional supply chains, supplemented with some detailed analysis in the consumer electronics, automotive, apparel and medical technology sectors by developing a digital scenario modelling tool to support collective decision-making.
