We face an array of environmental and social challenges: waste discharges to our waters, air, and lands; inequities in justice; shortages of water, material, and energy resources; unhealthy working conditions; climate change; employment and food insecurity. These concerns make it ever clearer that fundamental changes are needed to put us on a course to being sustainable. Every part of society must assume some responsibility for responding to this sustainability challenge – including those engaged in the manufacturing sector. For three decades, Professor Sutherland (and his students and colleagues) have undertaken a variety of research initiatives focused on reducing the environmental footprint of manufacturing and exploring the social impacts of manufacturing. The genesis of this research and some past work will be described, e.g., closing material loops via remanufacturing/recycling and developing indicators/ methodologies for social performance evaluation. Promising directions for future research will also be discussed.
