"Changer les comportements pour sauver la planète ? Il s'agit bien là d'une solution à privilégier au regard de la situation à laquelle nous sommes confrontés. Adopter une attitude responsable, tant au niveau individuel que collectif, n'est pas chose aisée : si la majorité d'entre nous a de bonnes intentions (78% se déclarent très concernés par le changement climatique), celles-ci ne sont que trop rarement suivies d'actions. Pourquoi n'agissons-nous donc pas en conformité avec nos déclarations d'intention ? Contrairement à ce que nous pensons, nous ne sommes pas des individus rationnels qui agissent en accord avec nos intérêts, même les plus fondamentaux... Une nouvelle discipline, l'économie comportementale, a démontré que nous sommes des êtres faillibles, tout à la fois rationnels et émotionnels. Issue de ce courant révolutionnaire, l'approche Nudge propose une série de leviers pertinents pour modifier véritablement les comportements liés aux enjeux du développement durable. Face aux nombreux défis auxquels la planète est confrontée - réchauffement climatique, acidification des océans, réduction de la couche d'ozone, pollution chimique, etc.-, ce livre explique grâce à de nombreux exemples pertinents comment adopter une stratégie de Green Nudges rapides à mettre en oeuvre, peu coûteux et dont l'efficacité a été scientifiquement démontrée. Le Green Nudge, un petit coup de pouce qui aura un grand impact sur notre avenir ! " [Source : 4e de couv.].

Additive manufacturing or 3D printing, manufacturing a product layer by layer, offers large design freedom and faster product development cycles, as well as low startup cost of production, on-demand production and local production. In principle, any product could be made by additive manufacturing. Even food and living organic cells can be printed. We can create, design and manufacture what we want at the location we want. 3D printing will create a revolution in manufacturing, a real paradigm change. 3D printing holds the promise to manufacture with less waste and energy. We can print metals, ceramics, sand, synthetic materials such as plastics, food or living cells. However, the production of plastics is nowadays based on fossil fuels. And that’s where we witness a paradigm change too. The production of these synthetic materials can be based also on biomaterials with biomass as feedstock. A wealth of new and innovative products are emerging when we combine these two paradigm changes: 3D printing and biomaterials. Moreover, the combination of 3D printing with biomaterials holds the promise to realize a truly sustainable and circular economy.

This book features in-depth and thorough coverage of Minimum Impact Mill Technologies which can meet the environmental challenges of the pulp and paper industry and also discusses Mills and Fiberlines that encompass “State-of-the-Art” technology and management practices.  The minimum impact mill does not mean "zero effluent", nor is it exclusive to one bleaching concept. It is a much bigger concept which means that significant progress must be made in the following areas: Water Management, Internal Chemical Management, Energy Management, Control and Discharge of Non-Process Elements and Removal of Hazardous Pollutants. At the moment, there is no bleached kraft pulp mill operating with zero effluent.  With the rise in environmental awareness due to the lobbying by environmental organizations and with increased government regulation there is now a trend towards sustainability in the pulp and paper industry. Sustainable pulp and paper manufacturing requires a holistic view of the manufacturing process.   During the last decade, there have been revolutionary technical developments in pulping, bleaching and chemical recovery technology. These developments have made it possible to further reduce loads in effluents and airborne emissions. Thus, there has been a strong progress towards minimum impact mills in the pulp and paper industry. The minimum-impact mill is a holistic manufacturing concept that encompasses environmental management systems, compliance with environmental laws and regulations and manufacturing technologies.

"What does it mean when consumers 'shop with a conscience' and choose products labeled as fair or sustainable? Does this translate into meaningful changes in global production processes? To what extent are voluntary standards implemented and enforced, and can they really govern global industries? Looking behind the Label presents an informative introduction to global production and ethical consumption, tracing the links between consumers' choices and the practices of multinational producers and retailers. Case studies of several types of products -- wood and paper, food, apparel and footwear, and electronics -- are used to reveal what lies behind voluntary rules and to critique predominant assumptions about ethical consumption as a form of political expression."--Provided by publisher.
