GreenPlants Initiative

How do Chicago 's smaller manufacturers transform themselves to survive the onslaught of intense global competition? One answer is CMC's new GreenPlants initiative.

GreenPlants helps small and midsize manufacturers in the Chicago metropolitan region to implement-step by step-sustainable or green manufacturing practices to improve the health of their business.

GreenPlants also has an economic development mission. The GreenPlants' initiative expands on Mayor Richard Daley's goal to make the city the greenest in the nation. CMC wants to make Chicago the "greenest and most sustainable" industrial region in the country.

The primary focus of the Green Plants section of this site is to show progress on the sustainable development of Chicago businesses.

  "Working with CMC has provided a great benefit to our organization. The process of introducing lean would not have been possible without their direct involvement. Our facilitator, Tom Jarapko, was able to provide an environment where everyone wanted to participate and be part of the process."
