Innovation Strategies in Environmental Science
1st Edition
Description
Researchers and practitioners working in environmental science face technical and economic challenges that are impacted by society, processing, and legislation. These challenges require that scientists and involved companies pay closer attention to developing processes, services and products that meet the demand for a cleaner environment, cleaner production, and a more sustainable world. Innovation Strategies in Environmental Science introduces and examines economically viable innovations to optimize performance and sustainability. By exploring short and long-term strategies for the development of networks and platform development, as well as suggestions for open innovation, chapters go on to discuss innovations and sustainable development ideas in key areas such as urban management and eco-design and conclude with case studies of end-user-inclusive strategies for the water supply sector. Innovation Strategies in Environmental Science is an important resource for environmental and sustainability scientists interested in introducing innovative practices into their work to minimize environmental impacts.
