What is Sustainable Manufacturing

Creating a generation with knowledge, abilities, and skills to meet the challenges of economic, environmental, and social sustainability is very important. In the context of the education of sustainable manufacturing, curricula should be directly related to sustainable manufacturing and its requirements. However, universities in the world in general and in developing countries in particular, are still mostly lacking in such initiatives which arise from the need of sustainable manufacturing education in their curricula. Therefore, the purpose of this chapter is to provide insights into the significance of sustainable manufacturing education in curricula among universities and its contributions to building an educated generation and carries sustainable thoughts. The results of the chapter indicate a low level of interest in adding the education of sustainable manufacturing into the curricula of universities.
