Evolution and Trends of Sustainable Approaches: Latest Development and Innovations in Science and Technology Applications
Rossit, Daniel Alejandro
Mustansar Hussain, Chaudhery
Evolution and Trends of Sustainable Approaches: Latest Development and Innovations in Science and Technology Applications provides different trends and approaches within the sustainability framework to assess their impact and offer possible solutions to problems facing the global sustainability paradigm. This book evaluates sustainability assessment approaches which support different levels of both decision-making and policy processes, thereby improving the management of natural and human systems. This book explores sustainable firm solutions, the upward trend of sustainability, and its variants. At the same time, different existing approaches are analyzed. These sustainable assessment approaches can be applied to products, services and technologies as well as business models, such as the Product-Service-System (PSS), Circular Economy (CE), Industrial Symbiosis (IS), and Supply Chain (SC). Finally, the book explores Sustainability Indicators (SIs), which are widely used to measure and communicate progress towards sustainable development, along with Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA), balancing the three dimensions of sustainability (environmental, social and economic). Explores innovative strategies and advanced trends of sustainable approaches, engineering, and industrial applicationsAnalyzes sustainability assessments and their role in planning and project processesReviews state-of-the-art sustainable technologiesEvaluates approaches for organizations to achieve both sustainability assessment and sustainable solutions INDICE: 1.
