Implications of Industry 5.0 on Environmental Sustainability

Most businesses are still grappling with the definition and implementation of Industry 4.0, but there is already discussion of the next industrial revolution. The coexistence of two industrial revolutions raises problems, necessitating debate and clarification. In particular, the implications of Industry 5.0 on environmental sustainability need to be studied. Implications of Industry 5.0 on Environmental Sustainability discusses the little-known environmental sustainability implications of the Fifth Industrial Revolution and contributes to the limited knowledge on this topic by considering the various challenges and opportunities. Covering key topics such as circular economy, robotics, renewable energy, and waste materials, this reference work is ideal for policymakers, business owners, managers, environmental economists, industry professionals, researchers, scholars, practitioners, academicians, instructors, and students.
