But too often we create hazards for the ecosystem and human health as we mine, process, distribute, use, and dispose of these materials. Until recently, most research has focused on the waste end of material cycles. This book argues that the safest and least costly point at which to avoid environmental damage is when materials are first designed and selected for use in industrial production.Materials Matter presents convincing evidence that we can use fewer materials and eliminate the use of many toxic chemicals by focusing directly on material (chemical) use when products are designed. It also shows how manufacturers can save money by increasing the effectiveness of material use and reducing the use of toxic chemicals. It advocates new directions for the material sciences and government policies on materials. And it argues that manufacturers, suppliers, and customers need to set more socially responsible policies for products and services to achieve higher environmental and health goals." 001386074 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001386074 650_0 $$aMaterials$$xGovernment policy. 001386074 650_0 $$aMaterials$$xEnvironmental aspects. 001386074 650_0 $$aMaterials$$xHealth aspects. 001386074 653__ $$aENVIRONMENT/Environmental Politics & Policy 001386074 653__ $$aPHYSICAL SCIENCES/Materials Science 001386074 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001386074 852__ $$bebk 001386074 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/4475.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001386074 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001386074 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1386074$$pGLOBAL_SET 001386074 980__ $$aBIB 001386074 980__ $$aEBOOK 001386074 982__ $$aEbook 001386074 983__ $$aOnline
