10 Reasons to Attend the Protolabs Sustainability Training Hackathon
Manufacturers are increasingly realising the true value of sustainability and ‘going green’, with many practical short- and long-term financial benefits.
In addition to this the requirements of legislation are ramping up with governments in the UK, the EU and around the world already acting on their sustainability ambitions. Governments will lean heavily on manufacturers so there’s an inevitability to substantial legislative change, but the advantages and opportunities will lie with those who move quickly.
