Refinery operations in complying with environmental laws and improving the overall efficiency of their operations. The author's approach has been recognized internationally as an integrated model that captures improved compliance and financial savings by reducing operating costs through dedicated pollution prevention programs. The focus is on refinery operations; however, the principles and general discussions are applicable to all manufacturing sectors. All business operations are faced with global challenges involving dynamic interactions between changing regulations, market competitiveness, and spiralling costs for raw materials and labour. It is impossible to separate environmental management issues and infra-structure investments from the primary strategies of any business. In fact, any company, facility, or refinery that focuses on pollution control as opposed to environmental management will not find itself in business over the next decade. There simply are too many costs and financial exposures to businesses that do not focus on continual improvement of their environmental performance. A commitment to continual improvement of environmental performance is increasingly becoming the standard of care for industry.

Environmental regulations provide protection to the public, workers and the environment. To protect themselves from long-term liabilities, however, companies have to do more than just comply with the basic responsibilities. This handbook is designed to introduce terminology, methodology, tools, procedures and practical guidance for incorporating efficient pollution prevention strategies into the overall business plan. It is a company's responsibility to protect and control its management of waste and pollution, and a company that fails to do so will ultimately inflict a negative impact on its bottom line, especially in financial performance. Responsible Care delivers critical guidelines and rules of thumb required for industrial managers to improve their companies' profitability through waste reduction, cleaner production technologies and sound management practices.

With the need for sustainability, a focus on developing an economic system that aims at minimizing waste, commonly referred to as the circular economy, is emerging. Circular economy and studies related to it have gained worldwide attention, as it seems to be an effective alternative economic system. Naturally, the circular economy will impact enterprises and will shift how entrepreneurship development and entrepreneurial opportunities are perceived, developed, and resourced. The Handbook of Research on Entrepreneurship Development and Opportunities in Circular Economy is a collection of pioneering research that advances the understanding of entrepreneurship development, identifies the opportunities, and manages the entrepreneurship development, policies, and programs in order to further a circular economy. In addition to entrepreneurship development and entrepreneurial opportunities, the book will cover and discuss a number of other factors necessary for a successful transformation, such as entrepreneurship and innovation, entrepreneurship and change, and entrepreneurship education. While highlighting topics including consumer consumption, knowledge management, and linear economics, this book is ideally designed for entrepreneurs, small business owners, managers, consultants, organization development specialists, policymakers, researchers, industry experts, academicians, and students.
