Green Manufacturing: Challenges and Applications

Presenting the concept of green manufacturing in a comprehensive manner, Green Manufacturing covers green technologies for advanced manufacturing systems, and discusses circular economy, and waste management.

This book:

• Presents a transition from conventional manufacturing to green manufacturing and discusses innovative technical ideas for production.
• Discusses concepts, methods, and strategies for zero waste in manufacturing, implementation, and analysis of clean energy.
• Includes cutting-edge case studies adopted in the industrial sectors, quoting the need for and importance of supply chain management.
• Covers additive manufacturing for sustainable design and production, and lean manufacturing.
• Explains nature-inspired biomaterials, renewable biocomposites, circular economy, and waste management.

The text is primarily written for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and academic researchers in the fields of manufacturing engineering, production engineering, industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, and aerospace engineering.
