EcoDesign for Circular Value Creation: Volume II (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

This 2-volume book highlights cutting-edge ecodesign research, encompassing product and service design, smart manufacturing, and social perspectives. Featuring selected papers from EcoDesign 2023: 13th International Symposium on Environmentally Conscious Design and Inverse Manufacturing, it offers interdisciplinary approaches to foster sustainable innovations. Within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it underscores the necessity for the manufacturing sector to innovate for sustainable value creation, taking into account technological advancements, regulatory requirements, and consumer behavior. Additionally, it explores the concept of the circular economy, which originated in Europe and seeks to enhance resource efficiency by transitioning from a linear to a circular economic model. This book aims to unite professionals across the globe who are dedicated to advancing the field of ecodesign, and facilitating the exchange of knowledge across various disciplines and communities.

The second volume highlights sustainable technology, social perspectives in ecodesign, and business strategy. The chapters cover digital and AI technologies for sustainability, sustainable social infrastructure, smart manufacturing, sustainable consumption and production, policy, legislation and social activities, finance and investment for sustainability, green business, and engineering economics. Readers will discover diverse perspectives from expert contributors who delve into critical issues like climate change education in primary schools in Vietnam; food security in Japan; repurposing lithium-ion batteries; carbon neutrality through sensor-based smart city services; life cycle assessments of automotive parts; human health risks from chemicals in export products; and developing high-resolution spatial global biodiversity damage factors. This collection invites readers to think through critical questions about resource efficiency and the shift from a linear to a circular economy. Researchers in the fields of sustainable design, environmental engineering, policy-making, and business strategy will find this book invaluable.
