New 2-volume book by Asst Prof. Alexandros Stefanakis of the School of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Technical University of Crete, in collaboration with Assoc. Prof. Ioannis Nikolaou (Department of Environmental Engineering, Democritus University of Thrace), entitled "Circular Economy and Sustainability", published by Elsevier. The two volumes have 63 chapters written by 198 authors from 33 different countries and all continents.
This book highlights how we see the concept of circular economy and sustainability: built on three main pillars (i) environmental engineering, (ii) business, management, and economy, and (iii) society. The role of engineering and management is crucial in building a sustainable society by developing a circular economy that establishes and protects strong social and cultural structures based on cross-disciplinary knowledge and diverse skills. The challenge is to investigate the interconnections, interactions and synergies between these three pillars and how these relations are or can be realized in the real world to promote a #sustainabledevelopment.
