Sustainable Manufacturing and Green Materials Processing are at the heart of transforming industries to meet the global demand for eco-friendly solutions. As environmental concerns grow, the need for manufacturing processes that minimize waste, reduce energy consumption, and lower carbon footprints has never been more urgent. This session will explore the latest innovations in sustainable manufacturing practices and the use of green materials processing to drive a more sustainable future.

At MSAM – 2026, this session will focus on the development of new materials, processing technologies, and strategies that enable the manufacturing industry to operate efficiently while reducing its environmental impact. We invite researchers, industry leaders, and innovators to present solutions that push the boundaries of sustainability in materials science and manufacturing.

We invite submissions and expert talks on:

• Green Materials for Manufacturing: The development and use of bio-based, recyclable, and non-toxic materials to reduce environmental harm in manufacturing processes.

• Circular Economy in Manufacturing: Approaches for designing products and processes that maximize resource efficiency and minimize waste through recycling and reusing materials.

• Energy-Efficient Manufacturing Technologies: Innovations in reducing energy consumption during the production of materials, including low-energy processes, and sustainable power sources like renewable energy.
