"Production has high importance in each country in point of technical, social, environmental, and economic aspects. On another side, sustainability is a hyper-disciplinary issue which became one of the main concerns across the world. It encompasses sections of society as academic fields, and all companies, factories, organization systems, and consumers. It is a hyper-disciplinary issue because involves all aspects of human life as economic, environmental, and social aspects. Therefore, it is necessary to define and explain the various considerations and elements of sustainable production. The goal of the book is to define all aspects and elements of sustainable production for readers. This book introduces and describes sustainable production elements. It includes production, design, implementation, management, and sustainability description. Sustainable production has different aspects as technical, economic, environmental, and social. Each of these aspects has different elements in sustainable production. In this book, different elements in each aspect have been described where many of them are affected by each other. For the production a product, all or some of the elements may be considered to be respected. This book can assist the readers in considering the sustainability elements in their lives, jobs, and researches. The readers may be students, researchers, manufacturers, and those who conduct any producing or servicing activity"--

Sustainable Engineering Products and Manufacturing Technologies provides the reader with a detailed look at the latest research into technologies that reduce the environmental impacts of manufacturing. All points where engineering decisions can influence the environmental sustainability of a product are examined, including the sourcing of non-toxic, sustainable raw materials, how to choose manufacturing processes that use energy responsibly and minimize waste, and how to design products to maximize reusability and recyclability. The subject of environmental regulation is also addressed, with references to both the US and EU and the future direction of legislation. Finally, sustainability factors are investigated alongside other product considerations, such as quality, price, manufacturability and functionality, to help readers design processes and products that are economically viable and environmentally friendly. Helps readers integrate product sustainability alongside functionality, manufacturability and costDescribes the latest technologies for energy efficient and low carbon manufacturingDiscusses relevant environmental regulations around the globe and speculates on future directions

The concept of sustainability has been expanding to all areas of economic activity, including construction. The Special Issue "Sustainability in Construction Engineering" provided a possibility for researchers to disseminate their new ideas and findings related to sustainable decisions in construction engineering as a complex discipline that involves designing, planning, construction and management of infrastructures. The topics raised interest of researchers all over the world and the current Special Issue received a great number of submissions from different institutions, countries and continents. In this Special Issue Reprint, 27 selected and peer-reviewed papers contribute to sustainable construction by offering technological, economic, social and environmental benefits through a variety of methodologies and tools, including fundamental decision-making models and methods as well as advanced multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods and techniques that proved to be very suitable for sustainability assessment. The papers are mainly concentrated in five areas: sustainable architecture; construction/reconstruction technology and sustainable construction materials; construction economics, including investments, supply, contracting and costs calculation; infrastructure planning and assessment; project risk perception, analysis and assessment with emphasis on sustainability. Due to its broad scope, the Special Issue Reprint expects to attract a large interest from the research community.
