New Scientific Book: ” Circular Economy for Sustainable Development: Applications and Case Studies “
The UNESCO Chair on Green Innovation and Circular Economy at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) is proud to announce the upcoming publication of the collective volume: “Circular Economy for Sustainable Development: Applications and Case Studies”, published by the Taylor & Francis Group.
Co-authored and edited by core members of our Chair, this book serves as a comprehensive guide to the transition from linear to circular economic models. It bridges the gap between theoretical frameworks and practical applications, offering diverse case studies that highlight sustainable pathways for industry, policy, and society.
Description
This book addresses the relationships among innovative technologies, methodologies, and processes and the different aspects of newly required digital and circular models that production systems and the economy must adopt and operate. It examines the latest innovations for the circularity of processes and end products, instilling the environmental consciousness of recycling and the ecosystem service valuation (ESV). This multidisciplinary approach, and the many case studies included in the book, helps readers understand different methodologies used when applying and implementing the principles of circular economy and green innovation at a practical level.
