The environmental performance of a machinery manufacturer will ultimately also influence the environmental performance of their customers.

By Thomas Guerriero, Group Customer CSR Manager, Domino Printing Sciences
The environmental performance of a production machinery manufacturer will ultimately also influence the environmental performance of their manufacturing customers (e.g. FMCG or brand manufacturers), and vice versa. As such, improvements in environmental performance will necessitate collaboration up and down the supply chain to align commitments. 
So, what steps can machinery manufacturers take to help align these commitments and create a more environmentally sustainable future?
Developing more sustainable machinery
Production machinery and equipment have a direct impact on FMCG manufacturers’ GHG emissions. There are several strategies machinery manufacturers can adopt and embed within their design processes to create more sustainable products and support their customers’ sustainability goals:
Reducing waste in the factory and beyond
Machinery manufacturers can also play a role in minimizing waste generated at customer FMCG manufacturing sites, from original machinery and consumables packaging to production line waste from product packaging materials. The following strategies can help reduce waste production:
The future of manufacturing: Developing new sustainable business models
As the demand for sustainability grows, machinery manufacturers must rethink traditional business models to better align with their FMCG-manufacturing customer commitments. Here are some innovative approaches that machinery manufacturers should explore to support this goal:
Conclusion: A collective path forward
The manufacturing industry is at a pivotal moment in its journey toward environmental sustainability. Machinery manufacturers can play a vital role in helping reduce GHG emissions across the supply chain by aligning their sustainability commitments with those of their FMCG-manufacturing customers. Developing more sustainable machinery, focusing on efforts that minimize waste, and innovating new business models are critical steps that we can take to foster a culture of environmental responsibility. 
Ultimately, environmental sustainability in manufacturing is not just an operational challenge but an opportunity to innovate and lead in a rapidly changing world. By working collaboratively with manufacturers, brands, and consumers, machinery manufacturers can create solutions that enhance their own sustainability profiles while contributing to a healthier planet for future generations.
The label printing industry is as dynamic as it’s ever been. Consolidation, innovation and the proliferation of digital technologies have emerged as the prominent topics dominating the headlines.
