Green Electronics Manufacturing - John X. Wang

Written for scientists and engineers involved in creating environmentally sensible products and technologies, Green Electronic Manufacturing offers an approach to designing electronics with special consideration for the environmental impacts of the product during its entire lifecycle, from raw material mining to end-of-life disposal or recycling. Examining the vast implications of eco-design on business and technology, this book goes beyond "green-practice" in the manufacturing process to discuss responsible electronics development as a management philosophy, design paradigm, and corporate culture toward an ultimately holistic environmental custodianship and commitment to society.
