This is a great opportunity to explore the social side of the “Triple Bottom Line” concept! It’s great that these factories are improving their eco-efficiency and waste and all that, but any thinking about South Asian factories has to beg the questions – are the people working there happy and healthy? I’d be really curious to see if “eco-friendly” factories are also better places for the people they employ (my guess is yes) – that would make this a truly well rounded development.

Although these are great innovations, I now shudder at the term “Eco-Friendly” … it just screams bullshit to me every time. Let’s stop using it and just call these “better factories”
