Circularity marks a paradigm shift from the traditional linear economy to the necessary circular economy. This volume captures the importance of circularity and its critical role in achieving global sustainability. A sustainable circular economy (SCE) is a model of production and consumption, which involves prolonging the lifecycle of existing materials and products as long as possible. SCE addresses global challenges by implementing three base principles: eliminating waste and pollution, circulating products and materials, and regenerating natural resources. Circular development builds a sustainable society through the conservation and use of environmental resources.• Circular economy addresses global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, waste, and pollution.• Illustrates how a circular economy can be a way to mitigate society’s challenges, both from environmental and from economic and societal perspectives.• Describes how circular development becomes a model of economic, social, and environmental production and consumption that can help achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).• Demonstrates that green sustainable chemistries can and should be leading contributors in the discussion on environmental science and chemistry.• Highlights new models, processes, applications, and developments in circular economics and green chemistry, which demonstrate how sustainability is adapting in the new age.

Mer om författaren

William M. Nelson is a Research Chemist at the Department of Intelligence Facility in North Carolina. He received a BS in Chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1972, an MA in Chemistry from Washington University in St. Louis in 1982, and a PhD in Organic Chemistry from the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore in 1989, during which time he studied the synthesis and photobiology of analogs of the environmental carcinogen benzo[a] pyrene. After that, he did postdoctoral studies in Photochemistry at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana. After leading R&D for a small pharmaceutical company, he worked for the State of Illinois, helping companies minimize waste and prevent pollution. Since 1995 he has been involved with Green and Environmental Chemistries while working in the US Environmental Protection Agency, the US Food and Drug Administration, and teaching at colleges and universities. During all this time, he has also served as Supervisor, Branch Chief, and mentor to many aspiring scientists. The emphasis in his research has been in organic reaction mechanisms, preparation of alternative cleaning technologies, green solvents, photocatalysis, and synthesis of energetic compounds. He has jointly authored two patent applications and has published/presented more than 40 papers.
