Bradley Corp. will host the 3rd Annual Green Manufacturing Summit in partnership with Focus on Energy (FOE) the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, on Tuesday, August 31, at the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center in Bayside, WI. The free, half-day event focuses on cost- and resource-saving green technologies and strategies geared toward small- and mid-size local manufacturers.

• A presentation of the Top 20 sustainability trends for manufacturers with an emphasis on how green manufacturing can impact ROI by Tom Eggert, the founder and executive director of the Wisconsin Sustainable Business Council and adjunct faculty member of UW-Madison’s School of Business.
  
• Educational breakout sessions that will provide insight into topics such as “Designing for Disassembly,” which will discuss planning for product life expiration; “Sustainable Trends in Packaging” that will explore innovations in the “less is more” packaging model; and “Greenhouse Gas Challenges,” which will cover how legislative changes are affecting manufacturers.   
  
• A panel discussion, “Driving Energy Efficiency for Manufacturers,” will be offered alongside presentations, case studies and guidelines for increasing energy efficiency, as well as a Q&A session.
