Читать книгу Circular Economy For Dummies - Eric Corey Freed - Страница 9

This practical, action-oriented book is about manufacturing and design. It doesn’t dwell on theory or abstract concepts. Nor do you need a PhD in supply chain management. Throughout, we focus on asking the right questions and figuring out how to radically rethink materials so that you can make a true impact. The book includes a diverse set of case studies, interviews, and examples to inspire and guide you.

Transforming how everything is made is no easy task. Trying to improve the environmental impact of your product might require you to study dozens of books. Who has time for all that? Instead, we’ve distilled and condensed only the parts that truly matter so that you can delve directly into the heart of what’s important. This book is detailed, but we didn’t include long-winded passages or unnecessary content. You get everything you need in order to be successful in creating and implementing a complete circular strategy.

Our hope is that this book inspires you to take action to envision a better approach to manufacturing, materials, and waste — full of new possibilities. Unlike some other topics, the circular economy is quite complex, with layers of meaning and understanding to it. Luckily, we’ve written this book so that anyone can find an aspect that will grab them and motivate them to make a positive change. The circular economy addresses biodiversity, climate change, energy use, natural resources, and so much more. This book focuses on materials and products, but covers hundreds of interconnected subjects.

The future success of humanity is tied to figuring out how to achieve the ideas outlined in this book. If we’re going to be able to house, clothe, and feed a global population of 9 billion (and counting), we need new ideas and new approaches to making durable, reusable, and recyclable materials of tomorrow. This book can make that future possible.

Whether your job is linked to manufacturing, design, or materials — or if you’re just a curious soul looking to make the world a better place — you’ll find Circular Economy For Dummies to be a fun, inspiring, and helpful guidebook on your journey.
