This page displays a collection of environmental and sustainability (green) online videos about industry and manufacturing. Video topics include sustainable manufacturing, green product and packaging design, zero waste manufacturing, closed loop production, pollution prevention, manufacturing waste management, and whistleblower protection.

Conventional industry and manufacturing practices often fail to consider the environmental consequences of production. These begin with the extraction of raw materials, run throughout the manufacturing process, and extend to disposal at the end of a products' useful life. Sustainable manufacturing takes these environmental externalities into consideration and minimizes harm. Whistleblowers can sometimes help bring to light environmental negligence by industry, and protecting whistleblowers is important to ensuring that the environmental impacts of industry and manufacturing are understood.
