Circular Economy and Manufacturing presents a roadmap of optimized, flexible, efficient, effective, and competitive green production strategies for the manufacturing industry and its multiple stakeholders. The volume is meant to be an excellent springboard for further discussion and research into new frameworks of best practices in view of achieving more socially responsible and sustainable organizations in a not-so-distant future. Circular economy can serve as a key building block for the sustainability targets of manufacturing companies. Although the term itself has long been established, we see that proper implementation of a circular economy model across entire manufacturing value chains is still lacking and remains a challenge for companies. However, there are clearly visible and good examples of circular economy standards which have already been applied and are generating value among multiple layers.

Regenerative kulturer tager udgangspunkt i økologisk design og værner om og dyrker biokulturel overflod til fordel for menneskehedens fremtidige generationer. De er i stand til vedvarende at lære og transformere sig som reaktion – og forberedelse – på uundgåelige forandringer. En regenerativ kultur opstår ved, at vi både individuelt og kollektivt finder frem til og udlever nye måder at relatere til os selv, samfundet og livet som helhed på i stedet for at gentage usunde adfærdsmønstre og tænkemåder, der ikke længere tjener os. Daniel Christian Wahl giver i bogen en vidtfavnende analyse af, hvad der er galt med vores samfund, organisationer, ideologier, verdenssyn og kulturer – og hvordan man kan rette op herpå. Bogen dækker områder som landbrug, design, økologi, økonomi, bæredygtighed, organisationer og samfundet som helhed. Han mener, at vi skal redesigne det finansielle og økonomiske system på alle skalaer – fra lokal til regional til global – hvis vi skal gøre det muligt for transformativ innovation at udfolde sit kreative potentiale, Men den mest grundlæggende transformation handler om at stille kritiske spørgsmål ved vores måde at tænke på, vores verdenssyn og vores værdisystem. Og den skal ske, inden vi går i gang med at ”redesigne den menneskelige tilstedeværelse på Jorden”. Det er ikke muligt for menneskeheden at slukke lyset, forlade lokalet og begynde forfra i et nyt lokale, der byder på større potentiale. Vi har kun én planet at bo på. Bæredygtighed og regenerative kulturer er ifølge Daniel Christian Wahl ikke slutpunkter, der skal nås, men vedvarende processer af kollektiv læring. Vi skal bevæge os fra ”mere er bedre” til ”bedre er bedre”. Bogen er en invitation til samtale og en opfordring til at leve de livgivende spørgsmål dybere. Den stiller mange spørgsmål, og der, hvor den foreslår svar og løsninger, skal vi forstå dem som opfordringer til at spørge til deres relevans i forbindelse med overgangen til regenerative kulturer. "Denne bog er et værdifuldt bidrag til den vigtige diskussion af det verdenssyn og det værdisystem, vi har brug for for at redesigne vores virksomheder, økonomier og teknologier – faktisk hele vores kultur – for at gøre dem regenerative snarere end destruktive." - Fritjof Capra, forfatter til Liv. System. Helhed.

Welcome to a journey that transcends the mere act of getting dressed. This is an expedition through the vibrant, complex, and at times, elusive world of fashion and textiles.

The world of fashion and textiles is not confined to the runways of Paris or Milan; it is stitched into the very fabric of our lives. From the cotton shirts that breathe with us on sweltering summer days to the cozy wool sweaters that ward off winter's chill, fashion is our second skin.But beneath the allure of silk gowns and the crispness of freshly ironed linens lies a story that demands our attention. It's a story of environmental degradation, of rivers stained with toxic dyes, of mountains of discarded garments heaped in landfills, and of the often invisible hands of workers who labor tirelessly to clothe us. It's a story that, until recently, many of us chose to overlook.This book is not a sermon or a guilt trip. It is an invitation, an invitation to embark on a profound and transformative journey. It's a call to embrace the power of your choices, the choices you make when you choose what to wear each day. It's a journey into a future where fashion doesn't come at the cost of our planet or the well-being of those who create it.Together, we'll explore the hidden costs of the textile industry, from the water-hungry dyeing process to the mountains of discarded clothes that clutter our world. We'll unravel the narratives of garment workers, whose voices have long been silenced, and shine a light on the chemical secrets hiding in our closets. We'll celebrate the rise of ethical and sustainable fashion and delve into the exciting world of innovations, from lab-grown leather to circular fashion economies.But this book is not just about problems and solutions; it's about the profound shift in consciousness that is sweeping through the fashion world. It's about a global movement, a Fashion Revolution, that challenges us all to ask, "Who made my clothes?" It's about the power of collective action, the strength of consumer choices, and the vision of a fashion industry that respects both people and the planet.So, if you've ever wondered about the environmental impact of your wardrobe, if you've felt the desire to be a part of something bigger, to contribute to a world where fashion is a force for good, then this book is for you. It's for the eco-warrior and the curious newcomer, the conscious consumer and the industry insider. It's for anyone who believes that change is not only possible but necessary.As you turn these pages, remember that every choice you make can be a stitch in the fabric of a better world. So, let's journey together, unravel the threads of sustainable fashion, and stitch a future where fashion is not just beautiful but also kind, where it doesn't cost the earth, and where style and sustainability go hand in hand.Welcome to a revolution in fashion, where you are the change-maker, and together, we can weave a more sustainable and ethical future for fashion.

A agricultura desempenha um papel crucial na saúde humana. Envolve diversos aspectos, desde a qualidade dos alimentos que consumimos até o impacto ambiental das práticas agrícolas, além do abastecimentos de matéria prima das industrias que utilizam plantas com compostos secundários para elaboração de fitoterápicos, nutracêuticos, cosméticos entre outros. A qualidade e a diversidade dos alimentos disponíveis em uma determinada região depende diretamente das práticas agrícolas locais. As práticas agrícolas, como o uso de pesticidas e fertilizantes, podem contaminar os alimentos com resíduos químicos que podem ser prejudiciais à saúde humana. É essencial regular e monitorar de perto esses produtos químicos para garantir a segurança dos alimento.
