Environmentally Improved Production Processes and Products introduces
students at institutes of higher education, company management, civil
servants, professional designers and process engineers to the field of
environmentally oriented product and process improvement. The book deals
with improvements that are integrated into processes and products. It
differs from other books currently available in that it covers both
production and products. It is also different because both
social/economic and technical aspects of the improvement of products and
production processes are dealt with, rather than the more usual focus
either on technical or on social and/or economic aspects. Another
characteristic is the wide range of production processes and products
covered, ranging from bakeries to olive growing, from nuclear power
plants to glues, from office chairs to breweries, and from television
sets to steel plants. Geographical coverage ranges from Sweden to China
and from India to Italy and the USA.
