The chapters as weil as the authors were carefully selected. The authors ofthe chapters are respected figures in the field and havedone extensiveresearchandfor practicework inthe field ofECM, itis important to organize this body of knowledge in a substantial form. Authorsofthechaptershaveemphasizedboththeory and practiceandmany ofthechapterscontainreallifecasestudies. Thechaptersare writtenwiththe reader in mind. Theaimoftheauthors is to carefully organize and convey their thoughts to the reader. These chapters are readable and can appeal to a wide range ofaudience interested inenvironmentalmanufacturingissues. Thereaderwill find thatthehandbookisverycomprehensiveasitcovers allthemajortopics inEnvironmentallyConsciousManufacturing. Thereare specific chapters to deal with sustainable manufacturing, recycling, eco labelling,lifecycleassessment,and ISO 14000seriesofstandards,asweilas decision-making aspects of Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing. Decision-oriented topics on supply chain, decision models, quality initiatives, environmental costing and decision support systems are also covered. The influence ofECM on marketing imperative is also covered. The reader will find this book an excellent reference guide to ECM and perhaps,themostcomprehensiveECM handbookinthemarket. The Handbook could not have been possible without the devotion and dedicationofthe authors who have to follow strictguidelinesandalsoabide by the publishers style offormat. It took a lot oftime commitment but the resultsareworthwhile. Iamgreatlyindebtedtotheauthors forproducingan excellentmasterpiece and I'msure you will all be proudofthe work.

INTRODUCTION Earth's resourees are limited. With the explosion in world population and the inereasing rate of eonsumption, it will be inereasingly diffieult to sustain the quality of life on earth if serious efforts are not made now to eonserve and effeetively use the earth's limited resourees. It is projeeted that the eurrent world population of 5.6 billion people would rise to 8.3 billion people by the year 2025 [Furukawa 1996]. This is an inerease of 48.21% from the eurrent level. Yet, earth's resourees such as fossil fuel, landfills, quality air and water are inereasingly being depleted or polluted. So, why there is a growth in population, there is a decline in the necessary resourees to sustain the inereasing population. Sinee the mid-1980s, we have witnessed a rapid proliferation of new produets with shorter life eycles. This has ereated tremendous wastes that have beeome problematic as more and more of the landfills are usurped. Increasingly, more and more environmental activist groups are forming and with eonsumer supports, are putting pressures on eorporations to improve their environmental performance. These efforts are also being supported by the increase in the number ofnew legislatures to proteet the natural environment. Thus, responsible manufaeturing is needed to achieve sustainable eeonomie development. Strikingly, studies have linked eeonomic growth to C. N.
