Material dependence -- Resource consumption and its drivers -- The material life cycle -- End of first life: a problem or a resource? -- The long reach of legislation -- Eco-data: values, sources, precision -- Eco-audits and eco-audit tools -- Case studies: eco-audits -- Material selection strategies -- Eco-informed material selection -- Sustainability: living within our means -- Materials for low-carbon power -- Material efficiency -- The bigger picture: future options -- Materials profiles.

Summary: Addressing the growing global concern for sustainable engineering, Materials and the Environment, 2e€is the only book devoted exclusively to the environmental aspects of materials. It explains the ways in which we depend on and use materials and the consequences these have, and it introduces methods for thinking about and designing with materials within the context of minimizing environmental impact. Along with its noted in-depth coverage of material consumption, the material life-cycle, selection strategies, and legislative aspects, €the second edition includes new case studies, impo
