Sustainable Engineering Products and Manufacturing Technologies

Sustainable Engineering Products and Manufacturing Technologies provides the reader with a detailed look at the latest research into technologies that reduce the environmental impacts of manufacturing. All points where engineering decisions can influence the environmental sustainability of a product are examined, including: Sourcing sustainable raw materials which are non-toxic; Choosing manufacturing processes which use energy responsibly and minimise material waste; Designing the product to maximise reusability and recyclability. Eco-friendly products have become strategically important for production and manufacturing industries to meet increasingly strict environmental targets globally. The subject of environmental regulation is also addressed here with reference to the US and the EU, and the future direction of this legislation is explored. Sustainability factors are investigated alongside other product considerations such as quality, price, manufacturability, and functionality, to help readers design processes and products that are economically viable as well as environmentally friendly. Combining the practical considerations with academic perspectives on this topic, this book is a perfect guide for researchers and engineers interested in green manufacturing. Helps readers integrate product sustainability alongside functionality, manufacturability and costDescribes the latest technologies for energy efficient and low carbon manufacturingDiscusses relevant environmental regulations around the globe and speculates on future directions INDICE: Section I: Sustainable Manufacturing Processes 1.
