Rapidly increasing global population with growing standard of living calls for a need for high quality manufactured products and services requiring significant0 product and process innovations. Circular Economy (CE) concepts are rapidly emerging globally due to the alarmingly increasing rate of environmental pollutions in waters, air and soils that continue to impose significant economic burden with societal concerns on health effects, safety and societal wellbeing in general. Traditionally known Circular Economy (CE) concepts heavily focus on recycling of end-of-life products and reuse of raw materials targeting remanufacturing. Recently emerged 6R-based (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recover, Redesign, and Remanufacture) sustainable manufacturing principles demonstrate the far-reaching application potential across all levels of manufacturing: products, processes, and systems, to promote and advance Circular Economy with product and process innovations for next generation manufacturing. |
