“Executing against our Mindful Manufacturing sustainability strategy is an important step in leading manufacturing towards 3D Printing a Better Tomorrow,” said Rosa Coblens, Vice President, Sustainability. “Across our value chain, we call upon everyone we work with to focus on climate-minded operations, improving products, parts, and processes. We demonstrate an evidence-based approach to ESG where continuous improvement and ongoing data collection reveals value in adopting and advancing Additive Manufacturing for production at scale to promote a more sustainable future.”

Recently Stratasys also participated in an Additive Manufacturer Green Trade Association (AMGTA) Lifecycle Inventory Research Report, which demonstrated the environmental benefits of additive manufacturing for the fashion industry. The report showed that Stratasys J850 TechStyle material jetting had a 24.8 percent reduction in CO₂-equivalent emissions over traditional processes. In addition, the company has earned the ISO 14001 certification at its Israeli headquarters, for the second year in a row, and in Germany for 2023, with additional global certification efforts underway.

“Our Mindful Manufacturing approach enables more sustainable production, for manufacturing applications across supply chains, optimizing overall environmental impacts,” said Dr. Yoav Zeif, Chief Executive Officer, Stratasys. “Being ESG and sustainability minded reduces risk and promotes the healthy management of our successful global enterprise. We are proud to spearhead this effort in our industry and with our customers, supporting decarbonization strategies across a wide array of product portfolios and operations.”

“Sustainability and governance are key drivers to push additive manufacturing even further into the overall manufacturing environment,” said Ryan Martin, Senior Research Director, ABI Research. “Large manufacturers across the globe are publishing their sustainability efforts and they will need help to achieve those goals. The value proposition and sustainability profile of additive manufacturing supports these companies by speeding ESG initiatives while also boosting profits.”
