The Routledge Handbook of Catalysts for a Sustainable Circular Economy

This groundbreaking handbook leads the way in accelerating the transition to a sustainable circular economy by introducing the concept of a catalyst as a positive and enhancing driving force for sustainability. Catalysts create and maintain favourable conditions for complex systemic sustainability transition changes and a discussion and understanding of catalysts is required to move from a linear economy to a sustainable and circular economy. With contributions from leading experts from around the globe this volume presents theoretical insights contextualised case studies and participatory methodologies which identify different catalysts including technology innovation business models management and organisation regulation sustainability policy product design and culture. The authors then show how these catalysts accelerate sustainability transitions. As a unique value to the reader the book brings together public policy and private business perspectives to address the circular economy as a systemic change. Its theoretical and practical perspectives are coupled with real-world case studies from Finland Italy China India Nigeria and others to provide tangible insights on catalysing the circular economy across organisational hierarchical and disciplinary boundaries. With its broad interdisciplinary and geographically diverse scope this handbook will be a valuable tool for researchers academics and policy-makers in the fields of circular economy sustainability transitions environmental studies business and the social sciences more broadly.

The Routledge Handbook of Waste Resources and the Circular Economy

The Handbook introduces contextualises critiques and discusses a range of perspectives associated with the concept of the circular economy. These perspectives span an array of subjects including economics environmental policymaking sociology environmental science environmental and industrial engineering management international development and human geography. A fundamental underpinning of the Handbook is that it takes account of a wide range of sectors as well as geographical perspectives that incorporate both a Global North and Global South world context. This approach is crucial because it is only within such a holistic perspective that the circular economy concept can truly be examined. In addition these issues are examined both from a theoretical as well as a practical perspective using real-world case studies for illustration. Given its wide subject sectoral and geographical areas of focus the Handbook should be of value not only for those undertaking research in the field of circular economy but also stakeholders involved in policymaking as well as decision-making on the front line. | The Routledge Handbook of Waste Resources and the Circular Economy

Algal Biorefineries and the Circular Bioeconomy

In recent years the algal biorefinery is seen as a promising alternative to fossil derived products that reduce the environmental pollution product costs and support circular bioeconomy. However the upstream algal cultivation and downstream processing are the energy intensive processes and are considered as bottlenecks in promoting algal biorefinery. Improving the biomass productivity and bioproduct developments are still underway while a number of novel bioprocess and bio-reactor engineering technologies were developed recently. Therefore this book provides extensive knowledge of microalgae refineries. This book is divided into two volumes (Vol. I & Vol. II) which presents complete coverage of microalgae refineries. Therefore Vol. I offers complete coverage of the algal bioproducts process including biotechnological applications and environmental effects of microalgae cultivation. While Vol. II provides various industrial applications and future prospects of algal biorefinery for sustainable development of circular bioeconomy. With contributions from world experts focuses on microalgae from an organism perspective to deliver a complete picture from evolution to bioproducts. The edited book provides a concise introduction to the science biology technology and application of algae. It covers downstream and upstream steps of the algal refinery for the production of algal biomass which has several social benefits.

Economic Doctrine and Method

'The translation of these essays is a testimony to Professor Schumpeter's power in the analysis of economic thinking' The Financial Times.This classic book is divided into four sections. The first gives a broad survey of economic thought from the days of Aristotle to the beginnings of modern times and the second traces the development of the conception of the circular flow of economic forces. The third and fourth sections cover the main theorems of the classical economists and describe the genesis of the school of marginal utility.

Sustainable Hydraulics in the Era of Global ChangeProceedings of the 4th IAHR Europe Congress (Liege Belgium 27-29 July 2016)

In an increasingly urbanized world water systems must be designed and operated according to innovative standards in terms of climate adaptation resource efficiency sustainability and resilience. This grand challenge triggers unprecedented questions for hydro-environment research and engineering. Shifts in paradigms are urgently needed in the way we view (circular) water systems water as a renewable energy (production and storage) risk management of floods storms sea level rise and droughts as well as their consequences on water quality morphodynamics (e.g. reservoir sedimentation scour sustainability of deltas) and the environment. Addressing these issues requires a deep understanding of basic processes in fluid mechanics heat and mass transfer surface and groundwater flow among others.

Stress Concentrations in Laminated Composites

From the Author's PrefaceThe objective of this book is to provide a thorough and systematic study of the problem of laminated composites containing stress concentrations. Stress concentrations are introduced in laminated plates in the forms of circular holes elliptical openings and straight cracks. These forms of cutouts have many practical applications and are familiar to most engineers. Stress concentrations exist in all known structural components. Stress concentrations have great practical importance because they are normally the cause of failure. In addition to stress analyses of laminated composites we need more fundamental understanding of the failure mode the failure criterion the effects on global laminate response and the design of composites in the presence of stress concentrations. In this book all the subjects studied are closely related to the problem of stress concentrations in laminated composites . . . . All the models are verified with many experimental results. The underlying objective of this comprehensive study is to give the readers an in-depth and thorough understanding of the problem of stress concentrations in composites. This book is the first to address the problem of laminated composites containing stress concentrations in a systematic way.

Creating Regenerative Cities

Large modern cities have effectively declared their independence from nature. But while they take up only three percent of the worlds land surface their ecological footprints actually cover the entire globe. Humanity is building an urban future yet urban resource use is threatening the future of humanity and the natural world. To meet the aspirations of city people in both developing and developed countries bold new initiatives are needed. Modern cities are an astonishing human achievement. As centres of innovation they are humanity‘s cultural playgrounds. Their communication and transport systems have developed a global reach. They are attractive to investors because they can offer a vast variety of services at comparatively low per-capita costs. But are they viable as ecological systems? The planning of new cities as well as the retrofit of existing cities needs to undergo a profound paradigm shift. Mere 'sustainable development' is not enough. To be compatible with natural systems cities need to move away from linear systems of resource use and learn to operate as closed-loop circular systems. To ensure their long-term future they need to develop an environmentally enhancing restorative relationship between themselves and the natural systems on which they still depend. Creating Regenerative Cities is a concise solution-oriented manual for creating regenerative urbanisation. A wide range of technical management and policy solutions already exist but implementation has been too slow and too little in large part because the kinds of holistic approaches needed are still unfamiliar to fragmented and process-driven urban policy making and governance. Herbert Girardet's 30 years experience as an ecologist thinker film maker and consultant working around the world has created this unique combination of tried and tested best practices and policies which outlines the fundamental shifts needed in the way we think
