Abstract

Global concerns on environmental and health issues have led us to the development of environmentally conscious technologies in the related academia and industries incorporating national and international research collaboration. Government laws and international regulations for reducing pollution such as the carbon dioxide and toxic waste increase production costs and impose international trade barriers, which accelerates global competition in industry. Knowledge and understanding on the environmentally conscious technologies, including eco-friendly manufacturing and design of products, renewable energy and energy harvesting, high-efficiency energy conversion, as well as marketing strategies, will allow us to provide sustainable solutions to overcome the barriers and possess international competitive power. This Special Issue aims to gather experts and scholars from related fields to present and share their recent research on environmentally conscious technologies in mechanical engineering field. Only nine articles out of 29 submitted articles were successful in meeting the expectations of the blind review process and have been selected for inclusion in this Special Issue after revisions based on reviewer feedbacks and further revisions:
