Book Description
This book presents cutting-edge findings that draw on the use of AI, the Industrial Internet of Things, Blockchain, and Co-Analytics for the development of Circular Economy (CE) models to make organizational activities more sustainable. A further goal is the development of Digital Technology (DT)–enabled support tools that can be used to further analyze the impact of DT and CE–enabled operational practices used to achieve resource and environmental sustainability. Digital Technology Enabled Circular Economy: Models for Environmental and Resource Sustainability discusses the integration of digital technology-enabledcircular economy models into the manufacturing industries and its advantages for sustainability. It emphasizes the fundamentals and applications and their enactment, as well as integration for the overall organizational development. The book explains the role of digital technologies in food supply chains and multi-life cycle materials for sustainable development and highlights the development of the workforce to facilitate the implementation of smart and advanced technologies. This book presents the development of DT–enabled support tools used to analyze the impact of DT and CE–enabled operational practices on an organization and efforts to achieve resource and environmental sustainability. Case studies that demonstrate how smart digital technology can help firms improve their long-term performance by embracing circular operation methods are also included. Students, academicians, and researchers, as well as managers and stakeholders who are interested in smart, sustainable production, and consumption, together with managers and stakeholders who are interested in ways of implementing them in their organizations, will find this book of interest. It will demonstrate, via the use of real-world case studies, how smart digital technology can help firms improve their long-term performance by embracing circular operating methods.

Book Description
Through a combination of resource efficiency, climate mitigation, carbon removal, and biodiversity protection policies, this report finds that it is feasible and possible to grow economies, increase well-being and remain within planetary boundaries. The analysis and modelling presented in this report are a first attempt to understand the impacts of our growing resource use, and to develop coherent scenario projections for resource efficiency and sustainable production and consumption that decouple economic growth from environmental degradation.

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 373
Book Description
How can we design more sustainable industrial and urban systems that reduce environmental impacts while supporting a high quality of life for everyone? What progress has been made towards reducing resource use and waste, and what are the prospects for more resilient, material-efficient economies? What are the environmental and social impacts of global supply chains and how can they be measured and improved? Such questions are at the heart of the emerging discipline of industrial ecology, covered in Taking Stock of Industrial Ecology.

Transparency in ESG and the Circular Economy
Author: Cristina Dolan
Publisher: Business Expert Press
ISBN: 1637421540
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
A holistic view of ESG goes beyond environmental issues, which are closely linked to social issues. Both come from the governance of an organization: the integrity with which decisions are made and implemented, ultimately defining corporate culture. ESG affects the daily lives of everyone in today’s connected world where organizations, companies, and individuals depend on each other at various levels. Lack of sustainability for any entity threatens its future existence, disrupting the entire ecosystem. The use of data to measure ESG outcomes is a young science that is increasingly critical to upholding our very lifestyle. Data clearly presents impact across the entire ESG spectrum, providing the necessary specificity for informed decision making, and ensuring the transparency and accountability, which uphold sustainability.

The Circular Economy Handbook
Author: Peter Lacy
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 1349959685
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 363
Book Description
Can we align global production and consumption systems with sustainability? Can business growth actually lead to a healthier planet? Can companies innovate through the circular economy to create competitive advantage and genuine impact? Waste to Wealth proved that the emerging circular economy advantage exists – now Lacy, Long and Spindler show you how to realize it at speed and scale in The Circular Economy Handbook. We stand at a crossroads, with rising geopolitical and geo-economic tensions, massive technological change and a host of social and environmental challenges. We are pushing planetary boundaries to their limits, with climate change and threats to biodiversity and oceans as just a few examples. Significant impacts are already being felt, and both people and planet face potentially catastrophic and irreversible consequences if we don’t urgently change our global model and systems. Our current linear “take, make, waste” models of production and consumption will not be sustainable in a world of some 9 billion people by 2050, especially with ever-expanding rates of consumption. Thriving within these dynamics demands more than incremental adjustments to business-as-usual. The circular economy offers a powerful means to decouple growth from use of scarce and harmful resources, enabling greater production and consumption with fewer negative environmental impacts—at the same time, making companies more innovative and competitive. In fact, this book shows that $4.5 trillion in economic value is at stake. Delivering on the promise of a circular economy demands impact and scale, extending through value chains and, ultimately, disrupting the entire economic system. In The Circular Economy Handbook, the authors illuminate the path from insight to action, from linear to circular. With case studies, advice and practical guidance, they show leaders how to pivot towards a holistic circular organization, embedding circularity internally and delivering broad-based system change. With unique insights across business models, technologies, and industries – featuring stories and real-world examples from circular pioneers – this book is the essential guide to help companies become leaders in the movement to secure the circular economy advantage.
