This book brings together, in a single volume, an overview of
multiple applications of the concept of environmental
sustainability, featuring examples of useful methodologies and
tools for pursuing environmental targets, experiences and case
studies spanning a variety of sectors, embracing both industry and
research projects; and case studies applied to very different
territorial contexts.
The first section of the book covers methodologies and tools for
environmental sustainability, including Industrial Ecology, Urban
Metabolism, Life Cycle Assessment, analysis of industrial water
footprint and such chemical technologies as Hypercritical
Separation Technology (HYST).
Part Two provides case studies of environmental sustainability
in specific industrial sectors including electronics,
pharmaceutical manufacturing, bio-energy, agriculture, food and
residential construction retrofitting.
Part Three explores experiences of environmental sustainability
in territorial contexts on a local, regional or national scale.
This section includes chapters on sustainability in the Republic of
San Marino, the European Covenant of Mayors urban sustainability
initiative and efforts to promote sustainability in Italy, Norway
and Poland among others. The book concludes with a discussion of
Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in Objective I regions of
Italy.
Featuring the contributions of academics, managers operating in
various productive sectors and consultants, the book aims to
promote the growth and spread of scientific research and
technological development for environmental sustainability."
