their efforts to enhance natural resource
efficiency, minimize waste, and
compete in world markets, public and
private sector stakeholders require a
better collective understanding of these
challenges and ways these can be
addressed. Thus, there is a need for
more in-depth analyses that can educate
these stakeholders on where significant
challenges and opportunities for
enhanced profitability lie.
Next Step: MAS will launch a
‘‘Sustainable Manufacturing Sector
Focus Study’’ series aimed at informing
public and private sector stakeholders
about the specific sustainability-related
challenges, ongoing efforts, and
unrealized opportunities that exist in
specific U.S. manufacturing sectors.
These studies would be designed to
provide clarity on the specific hurdles
U.S. firms are facing in their efforts to
become more resource efficient, what
firms are doing to overcome these
hurdles, potential cost-saving and valueadding opportunities that exist in a
selected sector, and unexplored areas of
public-private collaboration.
