The second edition of the Handbook of Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing is a reference
material on environmentally conscious manufacturing (ECM). The chapters as well as the
authors were carefully selected. The authors of the chapters are respected figures in the field
and have done extensive research and/or practice work in the field of ECM. Authors of the
chapters have emphasized both theory and practice, and many of the chapters contain real-life
case studies.
The chapters are written with the reader in mind. The aim of the authors is to carefully
organize and convey their thoughts to the reader. These chapters are readable and can appeal
to a wide range of audience interested in environmental manufacturing issues.
The reader will find that the handbook is very comprehensive as it covers all the major topics
in environmentally conscious manufacturing. There are specific chapters to deal with sustainable
manufacturing, recycling, eco-labelling, life cycle assessment, and decision-making
aspects of environmentally conscious manufacturing. Decision-oriented topics on supply
chain, decision models, quality initiatives, environmental costing, and decision support systems
are also covered. The influence of ECM on marketing imperative is also covered. In this
edition, we have also added new topics on corporate and social responsibility, climate change,
circular economy, petroleum production activities, and its influence on biodiversity. Some of
the chapters in the old edition have been retained while some have been updated. The reader
will find this book an excellent reference guide to ECM and perhaps the most comprehensive
ECM handbook in the market.
