This book provides an overview of cleaner production, including how regulations have evolved, and presents a broad perspective on how it is being developed. Presenting several practical examples and applications of modern clean production technologies, it provides readers with ideas on how to extend these practices to other industry sectors in order to contribute to a better environment in the future.
The authors start from the initial concepts of how to implement new cleaner production systems, before collecting recent developments in the area and demonstrating practical ways in which the latest knowledge can be applied. It motivates readers to develop new ideas on how to improve manufacturing systems to save energy and generate less waste, and discusses strategies on how to save, reuse and adapt materials, as well as techniques to reduce the waste and pollution produced.
This book serves as a reference resource for industrial management engineers and researchers, and is also of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students looking for insights into cleaner production in industry.
Francisco J. G. Silva holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and an M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering - Materials and Manufacturing Processes, both from the Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, as well as a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering - Industrial Management from the School of Engineering, Polytechnic of Porto.
