The U.S. Department of Commerce's SMART effort involves Assistant Secretary-led, regional
manufacturing facility tours across the United States, aimed at
enhancing awareness of the benefits of sustainable manufacturing
practices. Numerous U.S. companies have voiced concerns over the lack
of visibility that sustainable manufacturing receives nationwide and
the lack of information many U.S. manufacturers possess in this field,
particularly small and medium-sized businesses.
