The Manufacturing Technology Centre Pledge Actions:
The MTC is an RTO focused on manufacturing. By documenting the challenges of our own transition and through the development of technology we hope to not just enable our own transition but aid industry to transition more easily as well.
We also intend to have events to help others network with the businesses they need to help them on their journey as well as, as previously mentioned, events on personal transition as well.
Links with businesses that could support green events and if we can do them wider than MTC support publicising. We also intend to have events to help others network with the businesses they need to help them on their journey as well as, as previously mentioned, events on personal transition as well.
MTC are a good space for convening events, networking and we have individuals such as our Head of sustainability who regularly speak on sustainability and endeavour to do this in line with our commitments such as the pledge. Talking about both our success & failures in our own transition and where we can help others with theirs within sustainable manufacturing.

MTC believe we can not help people with their own transition if we are not committed to ours and as a business within the region this was an important initiative to be involved with.

4. Scope 2 fully 0 emission using market based analysis (renewable Tariff backed by REGOs) for all owned sites
1. Heat assessment to identify best technology to change heating to none fossil fuel alternatives
2. Replace CHP with solar thermal to decrease gas use up to 20% providing some of the heat and cooling load through the absorption chiller, with further solar thermal / PV phases scoped
3. Introduce an inventory system to increase reuse / resale and remanufacture
Working with our members to understand what they need in this space. Active participant in the EPSRC circular economy hub run by exeter university and engaged with some of the other circular economy centres and engaged with the rest of the catapult network trying to address where we best aid industries transition.
Trying to build better local links including our own business park. This would be useful to understand if there are any resource sharing or site ecological initiative which we could be pushing jointly.
I personally want to do more internal events helping people address their own transition to being more ecologically engaged in a manner appreciates what people can do and does not judge what people can't. So links to businesses that can help people with this journey would be useful
