Sustainable Products in the Circular Economy

About The Book

<p>This book explores how the circular economy influences product design in today’s business and society. Drawing on contributions from a wide range of expert thinkers, this volume assesses the existing approaches, strategies and tools which facilitate socially and environmentally responsible production and consumption systems. It then goes on to highlight the ways in which the circular economy conceptual framework could be implemented effectively at both micro (product policy) and macro (sustainable consumption) levels in order to alter the industrial landscape and increase its interconnectedness with materials and scarce resources. Highlighting the pros and cons of transitioning to this new model, the book also cautions that it will only be made possible via significant behavior change at both industry and consumer levels. Sustainable Products in the Circular Economy will be of great interest to students and scholars of sustainable manufacturing, sustainable consumption, corporate social responsibility and business ethics. It will also be relevant to industry professionals whose work dovetails with these areas.</p> <p>Contents</p><p>Preface: Sustainable Product in Circular Economy</p><p>Marek Ćwiklicki, Carlo Ingrao, Magdalena Wojnarowska</p><p>Chapter 1: Characteristics of Sustainable Products</p><p>Magdalena Wojnarowska, Mariusz Sołtysik, Carlo Ingrao</p><p>Chapter 2: Challenges of Eco-design of Integrated Products</p><p>Agnieszka Cholewa-Wójcik, Agnieszka Kawecka</p><p>Chapter 3: Verification of Circular Economy solutions and sustainability of products with life cycle assessment</p><p>Tomasz Nitkiewicz, Giulio Mario Cappelletti</p><p>Chapter 4: Significance and Adjustment of Environmental Certification Schemes in the Circular Economy </p><p>Piotr Kafel, Paweł Nowicki</p><p>Chapter 5: Impact of Environmental Labelling Upon Popularisation of the Circular Economy </p><p>Bartłomiej Kabaja</p><p>Chapter 6: Interrelationship between Sustainable Manufacturing and Circular Economy in the building sector</p><p>Agnieszka Nowaczek, Joanna Kulczycka</p><p>Chapter 7: Enablers and barriers in the transition to Circular Business Models: Investigating the critical success factors for the tipping and break-even point</p><p>Marek Ćwiklicki, Linda O’Riordan</p><p>Chapter 8: Costs and benefits of transition towards a Circular Business Model</p><p>Urszula Balon, Anna Prusak, Marek Jabłoński</p><p>Chapter 9: Utilisation of Digitalisation in Sustainable Manufacturing and the Circular Economy</p><p>Riccardo Beltramo, Enrica Vesce, Stefano Duglio</p><p>Chapter 10: Assessing Sustainability across Circular Inter-firm Networks: Insights from Academia and Practice</p><p>Anna M.
