Introduction

The perception and priority of environmental issues has evolved substantively over the past two decades as a consequence of the worsening of environmental impacts on the quality of life of the inhabitants of the planet and the integrity of the natural heritage.

It is clear that nature's resources are exhausting, that when used they depreciate, they lose their capacity to produce and are also affected by waste coming out of production and consumption. This raises the need to transform the paradigms of modern production, characterized by weak and highly polluting processes, into production systems that use the economic, human and natural resources in a sustainable manner.
