If there's one truth about industry's pursuit of sustainability, it's that no silver bullet exists. Rather, a unique quiverful of strategies, technologies and emerging solutions will be needed for each industry, each company, each plant and factory. In this issue we take a closer look at how a broad range of industries are advancing sustainability — from plastics and batteries to steel and microchips. We also examine how important it is to choose your implementation partners wisely, focusing on the key role that a systems integrator can play in ensuring that the sustainability impact of your next project is fully realized.
