Sustainable Catalysis - Challenges and Practices for the Pharmaceutical and Fine Chemical Industries
Driven by both public demand and government regulations, pharmaceutical and fine chemical manufacturers are increasingly seeking to replace stoichiometric reagents used in synthetic transformations with catalytic routes in order to develop greener, safer, and more cost-effective chemical processes. This book supports the discovery, development, and implementation of new catalytic methodologies on a process scale, opening the door to the sustainable production of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. Pairing contributions from leading academic and industrial researchers, this book focuses on key areas that are particularly important for the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries, including chemo-, bio-, and organo-catalytic approaches to C-H, C-N, and C-C bond-forming reactions. Chapters include academic overviews of current innovations and industrial case studies at the process scale, providing new insights into green catalytic methodologies from proof-of-concept to their applications in the synthesis of target organic molecules.

Toward sustainable solid waste minimization by manufacturing firms in Malaysia: strengths and weaknesses
Malaysia is facing an increasing trend in industrial solid waste generation due to industrial development. Thus, there is a paramount need in taking practical actions and measurements to move toward sustainable industrial waste management. The main aim of this study is to assess practicing solid waste minimization by manufacturing firms. Analysis showed that majority of firms (92%) dispose of their wastes rather than utilize other sustainable waste management options. Also, waste minimization methods such as segregation of wastes, on-site recycle and reuse, improved housekeeping, and equipment modification were found to have significant contribution to waste reduction (
p
< 0.05). Lack of expertise (
M
= 3.50), lack of enough information (
M
= 3.54), lack of equipment modification (
M
= 3.16), and lack of specific waste minimization guidelines (
M
= 3.49) have higher mean score comparing with other barriers in different categories. These data were interpreted for elaborating on SWOT and TOWS (strengths, weaknesses, threats, and opportunities) matrix to highlight strengths, weaknesses, threats, and opportunities. Subsequently, ten policies were recommended for improvement of practicing waste minimization by manufacturing firms as the main objective of this research.

Food Wastes and By-products
A complete guide to the evolving methods by which we may recover by-products and significantly reduce food waste
Across the globe, one third of cereals and almost half of all fruits and vegetables go to waste. The cost of such waste – both to economies and to the environment – is a serious and increasing concern within the food industry. If we are to overcome this crisis and move towards a sustainable future, we must do everything possible to utilize innovative new methods of extracting and processing valuable by-products of all kinds.
Food Wastes and By-products represents a complete primer to this important and complex process. Edited and written by leading researchers, the text provides essential information on the supply of waste and its composition, identifies foods rich in valuable bioactive compounds, and explores revolutionary methods for creating by-products from fruit, vegetable, and seed waste. Other chapters discuss the nutraceutical properties of value-added by-products and their uses in the manufacturing of dietary fibers, food flavors, supplements, pectin, and more. This book:
* Explains how reconstituted by-products can best be used to radically reduce food waste
* Discusses the potential nutraceutical assets of recovered food waste
* Covers a broad range of by-product sources, such as mangos, cacao, flaxseed, and spent coffee grounds
* Describes novel extraction processes and the emerging use of nanotechnology
A significant contribution to the field, Food Wastes and By-products is a timely and essential resource for food industry professionals, government agencies and NGOs involved in nutrition, agriculture, and food production, and university instructors and students in related areas.

Waste
InWaste, Eiko Maruko Siniawer innovatively explores the many ways in which the Japanese have thought about waste-in terms of time, stuff, money, possessions, and resources-from the immediate aftermath of World War II to the present. She shows how questions about waste were deeply embedded in the decisions of everyday life, reflecting the priorities and aspirations of the historical moment, and revealing people's ever-changing concerns and hopes.
Over the course of the long postwar, Japanese society understood waste variously as backward and retrogressive, an impediment to progress, a pervasive outgrowth of mass consumption, incontrovertible proof of societal excess, the embodiment of resources squandered, and a hazard to the environment. Siniawer also shows how an encouragement of waste consciousness served as a civilizing and modernizing imperative, a moral good, an instrument for advancement, a path to self-satisfaction, an environmental commitment, an expression of identity, and more. From the late 1950s onward, a defining element of Japan's postwar experience emerged: the tension between the desire for the privileges of middle-class lifestyles made possible by affluence and dissatisfaction with the logics, costs, and consequences of that very prosperity. This tension complicated the persistent search for what might be called well-being, a good life, or a life well lived. Waste is an elegant history of how people lived-how they made sense of, gave meaning to, and found value in the acts of the everyday.

Lean Excellence in der Informationstechnologie
Jeder Prozess hat seine Verschwendungen: Dieser Umstand sorgt für einen enormen Organisationsaufwand und spielt gerade in der Wirtschaft eine bedeutende Rolle. Häufig kommt es vor, dass ein guter oder smarter Prozess zum Wettbewerbsvorteil oder gar zur Position des Weltmarktführers führt. Um einen verschwendungsarmen Prozess zu gestalten bedarf es an Führung, Organisation, bestimmten Methoden und Unternehmenskultur – diese bilden das Rückgrat der operativen Exzellenz. Wie ist das möglich, gerade wenn Prozesse kontinuierlich hinterfragt werden? Dieses Buch bietet eine mögliche Lösung: An einem konkreten Fallbeispiel wird detailliert erklärt, wie mit Hilfe eines Makigamis jegliche Prozesse aufgenommen und entsprechend aufbereitet werden. Das Makigami bietet uns eine einfache Möglichkeit, um hochindividuelle Prozesse standardisiert zu mappen, jegliche Arten der Verschwendung transparent darzustellen, sowie diese gleichzeitig zu quantifizieren. Der höchste Schwierigkeitsgrad der Prozessoptimierung ist in diesem Buch durch ein Fallbeispiel veranschaulicht. Rückblickend sind Prozessoptimierungen im physikalischen Umfeld gestartet. Nachfolgend konnten administrative Prozesse gestaltet und verbessert werden. Zuletzt sind es Prozessabläufe, die sich in der Interaktion unserer Computer wiederfinden.
