Review: Environment conscious manufacturing (ECM) is an emerging discipline for the manufacture of new products from conceptual design to final delivery and end-of-life disposal. This volume comprehensively covers topics such as: industrial metabolism; product design for the environment; the design of closed-loop supply chains, disassembly modelling; and case studies in ECM. There are 15 chapters, written by authors from all over the world, and the topics range from life cycle modelling through embedded sensors to human-in-the-loop disassembly modelling to the computer industry and disassembly reverse logistics.
