Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
The United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent an important framework to confront different issues such as economic growth, reducing harmful pollution, improving resource efficiency and waste management. Specifically, the SDGs cannot ignore the ever-growing problem of waste. The current economic system favors a ‘take-make-and-dispose’ model of production and consumption, which is no longer possible. For this reason, it is essential a change in waste management. Zero waste is a new concept to face waste management in today's society. It is a wholesystem approach to redesign the resource life cycles so, in this way. it is possible to reuse all materials. Such strategy allows to create a low-carbon resource efficient, resilient and socially inclusive economy, to respect the diversity of ecosystems and to promote biodiversity, which is reflected in all seventeen of the SDGs.
