4. Sustainable Materials Management Making Better Use of Resources: Making Better Use of Resources
2012 by OECD
Sustainable Materials Management (SMM) is increasingly acknowledged as a policy strategy capable of making a significant contribution to fostering green growth and addressing the complexities arising from continuous global economic and demographic expansion. A central challenge in implementing the SMM approach is effectively mitigating the environmental impacts that can arise throughout the lifecycle of materials, often transcending borders and involving various economic stakeholders. This book delineates a set of policy principles for SMM, evaluates the establishment and application of SMM targets, and explores diverse policy tools for SMM. Additionally, it furnishes illustrative policy action plans from the UK and the Netherlands, concluding with a series of insights and recommendations.

5. Materials for a Sustainable Future
2012 by Trevor M. Letcher, Janet L. Scott (Chemist)
The importance of sustainability in our daily lives is steadily growing, and this book offers a comprehensive exploration of materials and their relevance to sustainability. This encompasses not only elements that may become scarce in the near future, such as phosphorus, helium, certain rare earths, and platinum metals, but also pollutants like carbon dioxide and methane, which are being generated in quantities large enough to pose a threat to our planet. Organized into five thematic sections across twenty-five chapters, this book stands out for its contributions by leading scientists and engineers who provide the latest statistics, recent research findings, and references to cutting-edge work. It delves into various chemicals and materials that may play a crucial role in achieving a more sustainable way of life, including biomass for plastic production, specialized compounds and membranes for applications like water purification, water splitting, photovoltaic cells, batteries, and fuel cells, as well as innovative materials for construction, glass technologies, and hydrogen storage. Targeted at industrial professionals, investors, government policymakers, educators, researchers, and the general public seeking insights into sustainable living, this book not only delivers current knowledge but also charts the course for future developments in this increasingly popular field.

6. Materials Matter: Toward a Sustainable Materials Policy
2001 by Ken Geiser
The items we purchase and employ are comprised of an extensive array of both natural and manufactured materials. Unfortunately, our processes of mining, processing, distributing, using, and disposing of these materials often pose hazards to ecosystems and human health. Traditionally, the focus of research has been on managing waste materials. This book contends that the most effective and cost-efficient approach to prevent environmental harm occurs during the initial phases of material selection and design for industrial production. "Materials Matter" provides compelling evidence that reducing material usage and eliminating the use of toxic chemicals can be achieved by concentrating on material selection and usage during product design. Moreover, it demonstrates how manufacturers can enhance cost-effectiveness through more efficient material usage and reduced reliance on harmful chemicals. The book advocates for new directions in material science and governmental material policies, urging manufacturers, suppliers, and consumers to establish socially responsible practices to achieve elevated environmental and health objectives.
