Description

Sustainable Engineering Products and Manufacturing Technologies provides the reader with a detailed look at the latest research into technologies that reduce the environmental impacts of manufacturing. All points where engineering decisions can influence the environmental sustainability of a product are examined, including the sourcing of non-toxic, sustainable raw materials, how to choose manufacturing processes that use energy responsibly and minimize waste, and how to design products to maximize reusability and recyclability. The subject of environmental regulation is also addressed, with references to both the US and EU and the future direction of legislation. Finally, sustainability factors are investigated alongside other product considerations, such as quality, price, manufacturability and functionality, to help readers design processes and products that are economically viable and environmentally friendly.

Key Features

  • Helps readers integrate product sustainability alongside functionality, manufacturability and cost
  • Describes the latest technologies for energy efficient and low carbon manufacturing
  • Discusses relevant environmental regulations around the globe and speculates on future directions

Readership

Researchers, manufacturing engineers, design engineers, process engineers, and managers with an interest in sustainable manufacturing
