Note publique d'information : This book brings together, in a single volume, an overview of multiple applications
of the concept of environmental sustainability, featuring examples of useful methodologies
and tools for pursuing environmental targets, experiences and case studies spanning
a variety of sectors, embracing both industry and research projects; and case studies
applied to very different territorial contexts. The first section of the book covers
methodologies and tools for environmental sustainability, including Industrial Ecology,
Urban Metabolism, Life Cycle Assessment, analysis of industrial water footprint and
such chemical technologies as Hypercritical Separation Technology (HYST). Part Two
provides case studies of environmental sustainability in specific industrial sectors
including electronics, pharmaceutical manufacturing, bio-energy, agriculture, food
and residential construction retrofitting. Part Three explores experiences of environmental
sustainability in territorial contexts on a local, regional or national scale. This
section includes chapters on sustainability in the Republic of San Marino, the European
“Covenant of Mayors” urban sustainability initiative and efforts to promote sustainability
in Italy, Norway, and Poland among others. The book concludes with a discussion of
Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in Objective I regions of Italy. Featuring the contributions
of academics, managers operating in various productive sectors and consultants, the
book aims to promote the growth and spread of scientific research and technological
development for environmental sustainability
