Gary Punter is something of a guru when it comes to factories, and has become the go to expert for advising companies on working towards an agile and waste-free factory future. 

He is also visiting fellow at the University of Cambridge’s Institute for Manufacturing, where he leads research into the future of circular business models. 

Gary was nominated to appear on the show by Tim Minshall, who was the guest on episode 14 of Sustainable Matters. Gary's work at Wissington sugar factory is detailed in Tim's recent book Your Life is Manufactured.

In this episode, Gary talks about working as a market trader, being a technologist at heart and why the idea of sustainability has become over complicated. 

For more on Gary's work in factories, head to The Cambridge Sustainability Improvement Method - (also known as Sustain8). It provides a foundation for sustainable transformation by engaging front-line factory workers in improvements and has been successfully employed in 35 factories across many sectors and is proven to deliver 15-30% improvements in energy, waste, materials and water.
