Pathways to Sustainable Ceramic and Glass Manufacturing

Applying the concepts of both material and energy sustainability to ceramic and glass manufacturing, this landmark work presents a set of potential pathways to lead the industrial ceramic and glass industries towards the goal of sustainability. The book discusses the concepts of incorporating industrial ecology into the energy-intensive glass and ceramic industries and provides guidance for incorporating alternative materials into existing products. A thorough compilation of the existing literature, the book covers a host of examples of material recycling. A must-have resource for students, materials scientists and environmental engineers in the ceramic and glass industry.
