Synopsis

Historically, companies have engaged in sustainable practices like recycling and refurbishing, but Green Technology and the Circular Economy: Towards a Sustainable Future provides modern, actionable strategies for reshaping operations. With these insights, businesses can minimize their environmental impact and maximize innovation in a rapidly evolving world.

Green Technology and the Circular Economy explores the transformative potential of the circular economy as a critical response to the global call for environmental stewardship. Delving into the principles of restorative and regenerative design, chapters advocate for reduced material consumption and the adoption of clean technologies. By emphasising the efficient reuse, recycling, and remanufacturing of products and materials, the authors highlight how the circular economy offers a sustainable alternative to the traditional linear economic model, driving resource efficiency and long-term sustainability. This edited collection also addresses the growing importance of sustainability in technology, particularly within the IT sector, where the challenges of electronic waste and carbon emissions from algorithmic training are becoming increasingly urgent. By introducing the concept of Green AI, the authors demonstrate how businesses can reduce their environmental footprint while still leveraging innovation through predictive modelling.

An essential read for academics and practitioners with a vested interest in innovation in green technology, smart cities, marine ecosystems and environmental issues.
