One of the benefits of green One of the benefits of green manufacturing would be reducing manufacturing would be reducing cost because in the end the cost because in the end the company may not have to shell out company may not have to shell out money to remove the waste when money to remove the waste when waste has already been eliminated waste has already been eliminated on the first step. ( Zero Emission on the first step. ( Zero Emission Strategy )Strategy )
