About
J.N. Sorokin is a leading voice in sustainable manufacturing, with a focused expertise in industrial robotics and circular economy principles, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Their seminal 2015 work, "Reusing industrial robots to achieve sustainability in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)," has garnered 53 citations and stands as a cornerstone in the field. In this paper, Sorokin masterfully illustrates the critical role of the 6R framework—redesigning, reusing, remanufacturing, recovering, recycling, and reducing—in advancing sustainable manufacturing. By detailing a general procedure for reconfiguring industrial robots, they provide a practical roadmap for SMEs to overcome adoption barriers, transforming waste into resource-efficient production. This contribution not only bridges the gap between sustainability theory and industrial practice but also empowers smaller firms to compete in a green economy. Sorokin’s work is notable for its actionable insights, making them a key figure in driving the transition toward a more sustainable, robot-driven manufacturing landscape.
