Design for Sustainability: Green Materials and Processes provides fundamental and practical knowledge surrounding product development applications throughout the entire lifecycle of green materials, ranging from conceptual design, material and manufacturing process selection, and environmental lifecycle assessment. In addition, several topics covering recent advances in the application of sustainable design within the automotive, building and construction, packaging and consumer product industries are also included in this book to provide practical examples of this philosophy in current applications. Lastly, a section on implementation of design for sustainability in education is added to aid readers that wish to introduce this philosophy to younger students.

This book will be beneficial to researchers, students in higher education institutions, design practitioners and engineers in private and public sector organization with aspirations to develop sustainable products in the future.

Design for sustainability is one of the primary focuses in human advancement nowadays, with the aim of developing products and services that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Provides an overview on materials and process design for sustainability Discusses theoretical aspects about design for sustainability Includes a discussion of the most recent advances and applications in design for sustainability

Green Materials for a Circular Economy: Materials Selection, Product Development, and Lifecycle Extension Strategies provides fundamental and practical knowledge on design for circularity, especially for product development applications and throughout their entire lifecycle. Topics covered range from conceptual design to materials selection, environmental lifecycle assessment, and lifecycle extension strategies. Additionally, there are a number of recent case studies showing design for circularity in practice in applications such as automotive component design, furniture design, user behavior, and joining design. Researchers, students, design practitioners, and engineers working with green materials, biocomposites, recycling, and materials will find this book to be a comprehensive source.Provides in-depth explanations of the concept and practice of design for circularityFocuses on green materials and lifecycle extension strategiesIlluminates real-world instances of design for circularity through a range of case studies
