The use efficiency of material resources and energy resources has to be increased to prevent permanent damage of the environment. The damage to the environment can cause serious problems to humans on the earth and may even make them totally disappear. We can imagine now how dinosaurs disappeared from earth.
Many strategies are being implemented now due to the discoveries of science and the related actions by people,businesses and government. Two strategies, resource efficiency improvement and waste management were specially highlighted by Dr. Ajay Mathur in an article in Times of India dated 11 January 2020.
I welcome the setting up of National Resource Efficiency Authority similar to Bureau of Energy Efficiency.
Industrial engineering is the academic discipline in engineering with focus on increasing the efficiency or productivity of resources used in engineering processes, departments and organisations. The present need for increasing resource efficiency has to lead to increased amount of industrial engineering. Industrial engineering discipline has to come forward and increase their productivity improvement efforts. The organizations now promoting resource efficiency as part of green movement has to ask industrial engineering to participate in their mission.
