| Résumé : |
The fourth industrial revolution has given us innovations including robotics, artificial intelligence, 3D-printing, and biotech. By using these technologies to advance the Circular Economy--where industry produces more durable materials and runs on its own byproducts--the waste management industry will become a central element of a more sustainable world and can ensure its own, but well beyond business as usual, future. Mavropoulos and Nilsen look at how this can be achieved--a wasteless world will require more waste management--and examine obstacles and opportunities such as demographics, urbanization, global warming, and the environmental strain caused by the rise of the global middle class.
- Explore the new prevention, reduction, and elimination methods transforming waste management ; - Comprehend and capitalize on the business implications for the sector ; - Understand the theory via practical examples and case studies ; - Appreciate the social benefits of the new approach |
