Abstract
In this presentation we will present several industrial examples illustrating the role of Process innovation in adapting the manufacturing of products to the constraints linked to raw materials.
We will describe several processes having different types of constraints:
- How to adapt to raw materials quality issues
- Accessibility of raw materials
- Environmental challenges
- Recycling to face the future
We will review several processes (Cast Iron Pipes, Plasterboard, Mortar, Insulation materials..
We will also briefly discuss of the growing role of recycling.
