By Salah El Haggar, The American University in Cairo Mechanical Engineering Department Cairo, Egypt
Description Sustainable Industrial Design and Waste Management was inspired by the need to have a text that enveloped awareness and solutions to the
ongoing issues and concerns of waste generated
from industry. The development of science and technology has increased human capacity
to extract resources from nature and it is only recently that industries are being held accountable for the detrimental effects the waste
they produce has on the environment. Increased governmental research, regulation and corporate accountability are digging up issues
pertaining to pollution control and waste treatment and environmental protection.
The traditional approach for clinical waste, agricultural
waste, industrial waste, and municipal waste are depleting our natural resources. The main objective of this book is to conserve the
natural resources by approaching 100 % full utilization of all types of wastes by cradle – to - cradle concepts, using Industrial Ecology
methodology documented with case studies. Sustainable development and environmental protection cannot be achieved without establishing
the concept of industrial ecology. The main tools necessary for establishing Industrial Ecology and sustainable development will be covered
in the book. The concept of ?industrial ecology? will help the industrial system to be managed and operated more or less like a natural
ecosystem hence causing as less damage as possible to the surrounding environment.
