Description
According to Socrates, "The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new." The new includes healthier living and sounder engineering. Specifically, we strive to generate cleaner energy and spread it to all corners of the world; improve understanding and care for the land, sea, and air; transform waste into useful resources; implement more eco-friendly agriculture and farming; and invigorate humans’ minds, bodies, and souls. The emphasis is on bettering tomorrow in an integrated manner, through the knowledge of the interlinkages among technologies, social and behavioural perspectives, the environment and ecology, and policies and governance.
Engineering Sustainability Goals provides the first go-to reference for everyone who wishes to brighten tomorrow by thriving through change. It shows how to capitalise change and hasten the transition into a sustainable tomorrow from various perspectives. To sustainably thrive, we adapt cradle-to-cradle engineering. This closed cycle engineering ensures the end of a product, or an operation, is the beginning of a new one.
The book is essential for researchers including students, professionals, policymakers, and tomorrow’s leaders.

As such, depolymerisation is a key circularity...Paperback$15400Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 2-3 weeks -
