• The world faces significant challenges as the population and consumption continue to grow while nonrenewable fossil fuels and other raw materials are depleted at ever-increasing rates. Moreover, environmental consciousness and a penchant for thinking in terms of material cycles have caught on with consumers, making the use of environmentally compatible materials and production methods necessary. This volume takes a technical approach to address issues using green design and analysis. It provides an overview of the latest developments in environmental chemistry and sustainable materials, written by experts in their respective research areas. This interdisciplinary volume offers research with the aim to minimize environmental impacts across all lifecycle phases in the design and engineering of products, processes, and systems as just one possible approach to addressing the larger issue of sustainability that includes environmental, economic, and social aspects. This volume bridges the gap between research and industry on the one hand and designers on the other by offering a systematic overview of the currently available sustainable materials and providing the reader with all the information they need to assess a new material’s suitability and potential for a given project.
