This book provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the aspects of sustainability for both natural and synthetic materials. It takes on a unique and realistic approach by undertaking assessments of the sustainable use of materials within the context of the business practices associated with the target industries. Hence, other than providing information for researchers and students of sustainable management of materials, this book will also be useful to engineers, designers, end-users, entrepreneurs, bureaucrats and waste management stakeholders of different waste-producing streams. The overarching concept of circular economy for materials sustainability is stressed throughout the book, and a wide array of industries and material types are covered. The intent of this book is not to offer convenient responses for any socio-economic, environmental, or legal aspects on sustainable materials; rather, it will discuss challenges associated with material usage in everyday life and their possible techno-sustainable solutions.
