توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب راهنمای مدیریت مواد زیست محیطی

این کار مرجع تکنیک های مدیریت زیست محیطی جهانی را برای مواد زیست محیطی با تمرکز بر عملکرد و مزایای اقتصادی آن ها تجزیه و تحلیل و ارزیابی می کند، راه حل های سازگار با محیط زیست را پیشنهاد می کند و سیاست هایی را تعیین می کند که محیط زیست را برای نسل های آینده حفظ کند. مدیریت مواد زیست محیطی را نه تنها به عنوان یک مشکل پیچیده انسانی، بلکه به عنوان یک مشکل گران قیمت که نیاز به مدیریت پایدار دارد، مورد توجه قرار می دهد. به طور همزمان، مزایای زیست محیطی و اقتصادی مربوط به سطوح بالای سرمایه گذاری و هزینه های عملیاتی مورد نیاز برای توسعه سیستم های جمع آوری و مدیریت مواد موثر در جامعه مدرن را در نظر می گیرد.


توضیحاتی درمورد کتاب به خارجی

This reference work analyzes and assesses global environmental management techniques for environmental materials with a focus on their performance and economic benefits, proposing eco-friendly solutions and designating policies that will sustain the environment for future generations. It addresses management of environmental materials as not only a complex anthropogenic problem, but also as an expensive problem that needs to be managed sustainably. Simultaneously, it considers the environmental and economic benefits involved in the high levels of investment and operation costs required to develop effective materials collection and management systems in modern society.
