Is it possible to produce machine tools in a climate-neutral way?
Machine tools are prime examples of energy-efficient machines. There is no doubt about that. But can machine tools also be produced in a climate-neutral way?
In a survey conducted by the German Engineering Federation (VDMA), 340 companies in the mechanical and plant engineering sector provided input on their own situation with regard to climate protection and the environment. The high number of complete responses underscores the importance of the topic. This is also evidenced by the fact that around ¾ of all responses came from managing directors.
Climate-neutral production can be achieved in just a few steps. It is obvious that implementation is not easy in individual cases. Nevertheless, even the longest journey begins with the first step.
