However, as David continues:“ Sadly, barriers to green technology adoption still exist, with the cost of energy and rising tax burdens acting as blockers to manufacturing adoption. While adoption of sustainable tech will continue to grow, the government must provide a long-term solution to ensure a wider adoption.”
With the Industrial Strategy, we saw a proper acknowledgement that the government knows about, and understands, these issues. However, until we know a little more about the extent of actionable support that will be afforded to manufacturers, we won’ t know exactly how much freedom the average manufacturer will have to invest in green tech.
Are you and your business making plans for 2026? Which of the key trends are you investing in to stay ahead? ■
