"The Integrated Life-Cycle and Risk Assessment for Industrial Processes and Products book is an excellent contribution to the field of life cycle and risk assessment for the industrial process and product applications. The book speaks to the what, why and how to apply and integrate life cycle and risk assessment. I would highly recommend the book to technical and engineering schools, professors, courses, and students who are looking to embed sustainability attributes into product and industrial process design and improvement."

About the Author
Prof Dr. Guido Sonnemann is full professor at the University of Bordeaux, France, where he holds a chair of excellence on Life Cycle Assessment and heads The Life Cycle Group CyVi at the Institute of Molecular Sciences. The group does research on Life Cycle Assessment and Sustainable Chemistry. Dr. Sonnemann’s main research interests are in the fields of life-cycle assessment and sustainable materials management; he is especially interested in the linkages of life-cycle approaches to risk assessment, including organic chemicals, engineered nanomaterials and critical raw materials.
Until 2012 Prof. Dr. Sonnemann was UNEP Programme Officer for Sustainable Innovation and Life Cycle Management. In this function he served as the Science Focal Point for the UNEP’s Resource Efficiency sub-programme. He worked in the Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) Branch, Division of Technology Industry and Economics (DTIE) in Paris. He was co-initiator of the International Resource Panel and responsible for the working groups on global metal flows and water efficiency. He set up and oversaw the Secretariat of the UNEP/ SETAC Life Cycle Initiative throughout the 10 years in UNEP. In addition, he was involved in the development of several other innovative projects.
Before joining UNEP in 2002, Prof. Dr. Sonnemann worked as consultant with the Chemical Technology Centre of Tarragona/ Spain. He holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University Rovira & Virgili in Tarragona, Spain (2002), M.Sc. in water biology and chemistry from the Engineering School of Poitiers, France (1996), and graduated as environmental engineer from the Technical University of Berlin, Germany (1995) with a specialization in waste management and pollution prevention. He is authors of a number of books and UN reports as well as more than 100 scientific papers and book chapters. He is co-chair of the Executive Committee of the Forum for Sustainability through Life Cycle Innovation (FSLCI) and member of the Life Cycle Initiative and the Society of Environmental Toxicology and
