Recycling is the need of the hour and it is an inevitable destination at the end of the life of any product. Today, recycling can happen at postindustrial and post-consumer states and the importance of recycled products in the market has gained significant importance. Recycled products dominate the array of sustainable products in today's context. Even though there are commercial implications for recycling, one of the very important and obvious reasons to go for recycling and to have recycled products is to have the benefits on environmental sustainability. It is highly important to assess the environmental footprints of recycled products and further improve the environmental benefits of such recycled products. This book presents five interesting chapters pertaining to the environmental footprints of various recycled products.

This book aims to answer the question: how can the industry action international approaches to corporate sustainability, ultimately achieving sustainable development and overall sustainability? With this question in mind, this manuscript examines how the industry, through existing approaches to corporate sustainability, contribute to addressing conflicting demands emerging from the achievement of sustainable development in a responsible, sustainable and innovative manner. It also reviews alternative models of corporate sustainability that contribute to achieving inclusive, sustainable development globally. Chapters 2 to 4 discuss emerging approaches to corporate sustainability. Chapters 5 to 11 examine the role that the extractive industry (mining and oil) could play in the delivery of sustainable solutions for the communities and environment in selected cases, in the Americas and Africa. Lastly, the manuscript showcases international corporate sustainability and climate change practices in the forestry, agriculture, tourism and manufacturing industries within the context of Asia and The Pacific region, particularly, Nepal and Bangladesh.

Het afvalwater in Nederland wordt al meer dan twintig jaar onderzocht op sporen van ziekteverwekkers en andere stoffen, zoals genetische deeltjes van het poliovirus, bacteriën die resistent zijn voor antibiotica en medicijnresten. Sinds 2020 wordt rioolwateronderzoek ook succesvol gebruikt om de verspreiding van het coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 te volgen. Dankzij het succes en toegenomen populariteit van rioolwateronderzoek is zowel de frequentie als het aantal locaties waar rioolwateronderzoek wordt uitgevoerd toegenomen. Ook is het RIVM van plan om het rioolwateronderzoek uit te breiden met onderzoek naar stress, leefstijl en niet-overdraagbare ziektes, zoals diabetes en bepaalde soorten kanker. Ook de daarbij gebruikte technieken zijn volop in ontwikkeling.Rioolwateronderzoekers verdedigen het standpunt dat hun metingen niet herleidbaar zijn tot individuen en dat de privacy van deze individuen hierdoor niet wordt geschaad. Door de uitbreiding van de scope, schaal, frequentie en gebruikte technieken bij rioolwateronderzoek is de onherleidbaarheid van individuen bij rioolwateronderzoek echter niet langer een gegeven.Dit wetenschappelijke essay beschrijft de mogelijkheden van rioolwateronderzoek, wanneer de AVG van toepassing is en reikt parameters aan waarmee de identificeerbaarheid - en dus toepasselijkheid van de AVG - van personen middels rioolwateronderzoek kan worden ingeschat.

Die Monographie soll die Wirksamkeit der Risikobewertung verbessern und enthält Methoden der Risikoanalyse und -bewertung, die auf verschiedene gefährliche Produktionsanlagen anwendbar sind, sowie Beispiele für die Anwendung der betrachteten Ansätze und Methoden.Die Monographie befasst sich mit dem Risikomanagementprozess bei der Erstellung von Risikobewertungsdokumenten sowie bei der Entwicklung von Normen, technischen Spezifikationen und anderen regulatorischen Dokumenten zum Risikomanagement in gefährlichen Produktionsanlagen.

Faire découvrir la nature si diverse, l'observer inlassablement, la comprendre et l'aimerâ€S Dès les années 1950, l'auteur, Philippe Gramet, chercheur, a voulu éveiller ses contemporains aux prodiges et aux curiosités de la vie qui nous entoure. Il apporte un autre regard pour nous sensibiliser à la fragilité de notre environnement. En résonance, les observations de grands naturalistes des XVIIIe et XIXe siècles, leurs planches peintes, viennent accompagner ces chroniques savantes, poétiques et teintées d'humour; elles sont complétées par des photographies actuelles.

As climate-change- and human-induced floods inflict increasing costs upon the planet, both in terms of lives and environmental damage, flood monitoring tools derived from remote sensing platforms have undergone improvements in their performance and capabilities in terms of spectral, spatial and temporal extents and resolutions.Such improvements raise new challenges connected to data analysis and interpretation, in terms of, e.g., effectively discerning the presence of floodwaters in different land-cover types and environmental conditions or refining the accuracy of detection algorithms.In this sense, high expectations are placed on new methods that integrate information obtained from multiple techniques, platforms, sensors, bands and acquisition times. Moreover, the assessment of such techniques strongly benefits from collaboration with hydrological and/or hydraulic modeling of the evolution of flood events.The aim of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of recent advancements in the state of the art of flood monitoring methods and techniques derived from remotely sensed data.

Anaerobic digestion is by far the most important technology for providing clean renewable energy to millions of people in rural areas around the world. It produces biomethane with anaerobic-digestate as a byproduct that can be used as a biofertilizer. In the context of energy consumption, more than 85% of the total energy consumed currently comes from non-renewable fossil resources. A wide variety of biowastes can be used as feedstocks for biogas production. Biogas technology can provide sustainable, affordable, and eco-friendly green energy along with useful byproducts. This book discusses the basics of biogas production and aims to address the needs of graduate and postgraduate students as well as other professionals through further evaluation of biogas production via case studies.

Based on a detailed analysis of the first round of NDCs by some of the world's most knowledgeable climate policy experts, this book offers critical insights relevant to mitigation, adaptation and means of implementation.

The title, "Climate Change: Seeing Beyond Tomorrow," is clear. In the past, humanity has been decimated by plagues such as cholera, bubonic plague, smallpox, and others. These problems were overcome by people using their heads and sharing newfound information. Now, we must use the same strategy to overcome what may be our greatest challenger ever-global warming. It would seem that the best approach to future atmospheric problems is to cooperatively understand them and eliminate confusion about their nature. Beginning with a biographical sketch of a boy who struggled to overcome significant life challenges to eventually become an engineer and inventor, "Climate Change: Seeing Beyond Tomorrow" demonstrates how one man can make a difference. You'll learn how author Rollin Armer designed and built a fully-functional electric motorcycle, as well as an electric car with a body built entirely of wood that he drove to work each day, decades before Elon Musk was even born! Armer's book shows us that knowledge, innovation, and perseverance can overcome any challenge-if we have the will-and the understanding, that it is up to us to see beyond tomorrow, and deal with Climate Change--now!

This book is dedicated to the subject of environmental labels. The basis for the classification of its parts goes back to the types of environmental labelling according to the classification provided by the International Organization for Standardization. The idea of compiling this book came to the author's mind when it was observed that national environmental labelling models had been developed in most countries. This is, however, not the case everywhere; in many other countries, even the initial steps have not been taken.
