PLUS

• What are the emerging common themes that organisations should consider when committing to scaling up in a sustainable way?
• How do you know if sustainable production has been achieved? How is it measured?
• What are the common implications of scaling up and how can the Chemical and Process Engineering community use their expertise to manage resources appropriately?
