Environmental Sustainability and Industries identifies and
discusses critical areas related to environmentally conscious
industrial development of products and services that may support
more sustainable and equitable societies. This book addresses
pollution prevention by referring to the use of processes,
practices, and materials that reduce or eliminate the generation of
pollutants at the source of production, more efficient use of raw
materials, energy, water or other resources, or by conserving
natural resources by maintaining clean production. It explains
industrial energy efficiency as the most cost-effective use of
energy in manufacturing processes, reducing its wastage as well as
the total consumption of primary energy resources. Life cycle
assessment is used as an analytical method to quantify
environmental impacts, focusing on environmental considerations
concerning process design and optimization, and including various
sustainable manufacturing parameters in the context of industrial
processes and proposes a classification of identified parameters to
evaluate and optimize the manufacturing performances. The book also
dives into industrial ecology, investigating how, where, and why
environmental improvements can be made to develop a sustainable
industry, meeting the needs of current generations without
sacrificing the needs of the future ones. This book analyzes a
company's environmental, social, and economic performance and their
interrelationships, emphasizing the importance of identifying and
understanding causal relationships between alternative approaches
to action and their impact on financial and nonfinancial
performance. It concludes with a view on the future of sustainable
industrial systems stressing change as a joint effort of
scientists, governments, people in business, and academicians.
