PLM Green Announces Design for Sustainability Theme

The PLM Green Global Alliance (PGGA) announces that a new study theme focused on Design for Sustainability (DfS) has been established which will be led by PLM Green contributing moderator Erik Rieger from Transition Technologies PSC Germany.

PLM Green’s mission is to educate, advocate, and collaborate across the boundaries of technical disciplines, industries, and international borders to promote the use of Product Lifecycle Management strategies, technologies, and software tools in the transition to a sustainable decarbonized circular economy. There are many applications of PLM that can contribute to this transition as referenced in PLM Green Examples.

Due to the wide variety of these PLM use cases, the PGGA previously created five core study themes hat examine the application of PLM within: Sustainability, Green Energy, Circular Economy, Climate Change, and Life Cycle Assessment. Each special interest activity is led by expert moderators who presently include Jos Voskuil from TacitIT, Klaus Brettschneider from LinxAS, Mark Reisig from CIMdata, Patrice Quencez from CIMPA PLM Services, and Richard McFall from PLM Alliances. The PGGA also acknowledges prior contributions from Ilan Madjar of XLM Solutions, Hannes Lindfred from TrusTrace, Bjorn Fidjeland from PLM Partners, and Lionel Grealou from XlifeCycle.
