| Synopsis: |
The issues associated with sustainable production are among the mostimportant facing the world in the early 21st century. While most of thescholarship in this area has been produced in the United States andEurope, not much has been written from a Canadian perspective.Sustainable Production establishes a Canadian presence in thesustainable production debate by analyzing the opportunities andconstraints facing both the public and private sectors as Canadastrives to move public policy and industrial practice forward.Sustainable production focuses on the systems by which industrialeconomies produce goods and services and the ways in which investmentand production decisions are influenced by public policy. One goal ofsustainable production is to dematerialize production -minimizing energy and material extraction and throughput per unit ofeconomic output. In its broader sense, sustainable production shouldsimultaneously improve environmental quality and social well-being.Sustainable production envisions an industrial system that wouldmaximize resource efficiency, minimize environmental impacts, andreplenish natural capital, while providing safe and satisfyingemployment opportunities.Sustainable Production will be of interest to scholars andstudents in business, public policy, and engineering, to policy makers,and to practitioners in firms and industry associations. |
