Although the term itself has long been established, we see that proper implementation of a circular economy model across entire manufacturing value chains is still lacking and remains a challenge. However, there are clearly visible and good examples of circular economy standards which have already been applied and are generating value among multiple layers. Circular Economy and Manufacturing presents these and more, providing a roadmap of optimized, flexible, efficient, effective, and competitive green production strategies for the manufacturing industry and its multiple stakeholders.
The volume proves to be an excellent springboard for further discussion and research into new frameworks of best practices in view of achieving more socially responsible and sustainable organizations in a not-so-distant future.
- Helps readers to easily identify state-of-the-art advances in the circular economy as applied to the manufacturing industry
- Adopts an interdisciplinary perspective, offering insights into both engineering and management components of the whole circular economy approach
- Includes contributions from an internal group of experts
- Presents methodologies and showcases their application through case studies
Researchers and students (postgraduate and undergraduate) in the fields of advanced manufacturing, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, environmental engineering and management, sustainability, business/economics and resource management, clean tech engineering.
