A handbook with wide potential usage for both undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as practitioners, on the linkages between science and business.This book aims to present a clear picture of current thinking on sustainability, examining the history of the issues and suggested solutions. We explore the strengths and weaknesses of the many and diverse schools of thought.

The book is targeted at enabling the modern business student and practitioner to disentangle the complex, often convoluted debate relating to sustainability. It provides the tools necessary to lead their organizations through the murky waters of current times and prepare for the challenges of the future. Innovation and leadership are central to this journey, and it is hoped that this book will contribute to the preparation of the next generation of business professionals.

Eschewing the linear take, make and waste, approach of current business and manufacturing thinking this book conceptualises and operationalises the circular economy. This concept, already in common parlance at policy levels in the UK, and notably in China and other developing countries, lacks a detailed articulation of its implications or how it might be achieved. This text is designed to fill that gap.
