Contents:
Cleaner Production Concept -- Cleaner Production Definition -- Cleaner Production Evolution -- Industrial Impact on the Environment -- Sustainable Consumption -- Cleaner Production Standards -- Cleaner Production tools -- Cleaner Production Assessment -- Practices on Cleaner Production -- Sustainable production cases -- Tracking Environmental Performance -- Toxic Substances Reduction and Elimination -- Cleaner Production Drivers and Barriers -- Education for Sustainable Development -- Some Case Studies in Cleaner Production.
In: Springer Nature eBookSummary: This book provides an overview of cleaner production, including how regulations have evolved, and presents a broad perspective on how it is being developed. Presenting several practical examples and applications of modern clean production technologies, it provides readers with ideas on how to extend these practices to other industry sectors in order to contribute to a better environment in the future. The authors start from the initial concepts of how to implement new cleaner production systems, before collecting recent developments in the area and demonstrating practical ways in which the latest knowledge can be applied. It motivates readers to develop new ideas on how to improve manufacturing systems to save energy and generate less waste, and discusses strategies on how to save, reuse and adapt materials, as well as techniques to reduce the waste and pollution produced. This book serves as a reference resource for industrial management engineers and researchers, and is also of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students looking for insights into cleaner production in industry.
