Concrete

From Quarry Waste to Usable Concrete

Principles and Practice

Routledge Studies in Sustainability

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the background, practice, potential and challenges associated with developing and using perceptual indicators for assessing sustainability.

Theory and Practice of Perception Indicators in Sustainability

Sustainability Perception Indicators

Economic incentives intended to catalyze environmentally responsible behavior have assumed a central role in confronting climate change, food insecurity, and natural resource degradation. Notwithstanding their promise, many programs underperform owing to methodological gaps, limited transparency, and insufficient regulatory oversight. Carbon Incentives, Plans, and Policies in Agriculture undertakes a critical appraisal of these constraints and advances evidence¿based propositions for strengthening carbon credit mechanisms across agricultural systems and value chains. The volume assembles a globally diverse authorship to synthesize emergent strategies and forward trajectories in carbon financing and monetization, green accounting, ecological and environmental economics, and carbon credit trading, while situating these within the broader sustainability imperatives of agroecosystems. Distinctive emphasis is placed on measurement and methodological rigor, including quantification protocols, MRV frameworks, and domain¿specific estimation approaches for soils, croplands, grasslands, and agroforestry, together with field-level interventions (e.g., energy and water use efficiency, best management practices, and green manuring) and technological enablement (notably, AI-supported assessment). Integrating scientific, policy, and economic perspectives, this book furnishes a conceptual and operational foundation for scholars, researchers, industry practitioners, and policymakers seeking to design effective, transparent, and equitable governance and planning protocols for a low¿carbon agricultural transition.

RSA Series in Transdisciplinary Rhetoric

An investigation into one of the largest and most lucrative mineral mining companies in the world, Rio Tinto, Extraction Politics reveals how the company constructs a presence in the places it operates and shapes meanings and orientations toward the environment. Taking readers on a "rhetorical pilgrimage" across the American Southwest, Nicholas Paliewicz shows how Rio Tinto creates adaptable corporate identities. From Ronald Reagan's frontiersman advertisements for the Borax Mine in California to the pioneer Mormon persona at Bingham Canyon Mine in Salt Lake City and the folksy, paternalistic perspective toward the San Carlos Apache at the proposed mine at Oak Flat, Arizona, the company appropriates local history to embed itself as a valued member of the public--without having to settle in those ecological communities and bear the costs of extraction. This does not occur without resistance, however. Paliewicz also shows how activists use these same tactics to expose Rio Tinto as an exploitative, colonialist polluter.In an era of surging demand for dwindling supplies of minerals and metals, this book previews what the future of extractivism may look like. Extraction Politics will appeal to scholars and students of environmental communication and activist politics as well as general readers interested in the climate crisis.

Sustainability and Construction: The Global Context and the New Zealand Perspective explores various dimensions of sustainability in construction. It commences with a comprehensive discourse on the sustainability concept and its construction context.Next, it examines sustainability across the various phases of a typical construction project-from inception, through operationalization, to end-of-life management-on one hand, and, on the other, the sustainability of associated processes and domains such as supply chains, logistics, delivery models, and waste management. The narrative is extended through sustainability rating schemes, regenerative built environment, and the context of technology in construction. A strategic organizational viewpoint is presented through an integrated treatment of corporate sustainability, its assessment, reporting, and benchmarking, against the backdrop of the sustainability imperative. Stakeholder perspectives and the "wickedness" of sustainable construction in New Zealand conclude the work. The unique treatment of the overarching themes impacting sustainability in the global construction industry and their intersection with the New Zealand standpoint delivers a well-balanced and thoroughly researched resource. It is a value-added, highly visual text for engineers, students, researchers, policy makers, and industry stakeholders alike.

It explores eco-friendly and bioinspired methods for producing gold, silver, calcium, and metal oxide nanoparticles, backed by in-depth case studies. Extensive coverage is provided on advanced characterization techniques, delivering insights into structural, morphological, and functional assessment. The book examines various applications, such as food packaging, antimicrobial surfaces, catalytic processes, energy devices, and biomedical technologies. A specific part on nanotoxicology showcases contemporary safety evaluation techniques, including organs-on-chips and 3D cell culture systems, while conversations regarding ethics and sustainability stress responsible innovation. The combination of scientific, safety, and social factors sets this work apart in its breadth. By connecting core concepts with real-world uses, the book acts as an essential tool for researchers, scholars, and industry experts aiming to create nanotechnology solutions that are not only efficient but also safe, sustainable, and ethically responsible. Policymakers and regulatory organizations will also appreciate it for developing frameworks that guarantee nanotechnology aids in advancing global sustainability objectives. This book merges green chemistry with nanotechnology, enabling synthesis from sustainable pathways and characterization through advanced techniques jointly with applications and ethical considerations all under one roof. Works by world top-rated scientists propose renewable-resource-based, bioinspired, and eco-friendly routes toward synthesis of widely varying nanoparticles that make sense in real life. Case studies with applications in health care, food packaging, catalysis, and industrial plus environmental remediation work supported by the most advanced tools of nanotoxicological assessment, such as organs-on-chips and 3D cell cultures, are also presented here. Scientific novelty will be integrated with safety and sustainability so that learners can not only create new forms of nanomaterials but also "create safely." By combining breadth, depth, and practical insight, this work stands as an indispensable guide for researchers, industry professionals, policymakers, and educators shaping the future of sustainable nanotechnology.
