Sustainable Development of Industry and its Impact on the Enviromment

Zbog sve većeg zagađenja zemlje i ekološke osviještenosti, održivi razvoj sve više dobiva na važnosti te se paralelno razvija s različitim industrijama. Tako je tema ovog diplomskog rada održivi razvoj industrije i njen utjecaj na okoliš. Pojmovi poput održivog razvoja, zelene industrije i kružnog gospodarstva objasnit će se kroz ovaj rad. Također, veoma je važno spomenuti razvoj održivosti kroz godine te objasniti industrijski razvoj kroz industrijske revolucije. Okoliš se zagađuje na različite načine, a razvoj tehnologije i industrije samo je pridonijelo pojavi mnogobrojnih oblika onečišćenja vode, tla i zraka. Iako je dug i naporan put do kompletno zelene industrije te je pitanje da li je uopće moguće imati kompletno zelenu industriju, neke industrije su počele implementirati kružno gospodarstvo u svoje poslovanje. Međutim, sve je to tek početak i postoje mnogi nedostatci koji se javljaju u razvitku zelenog poslovanja. Društvo bi trebalo biti više upoznato i obrazovano o pojmu održivog razvoja kako bi takva strategija razvoja mogla napredovati. Na samom kraju diplomskog rada prikazani su rezultati ankete s mišljenjima ispitanika o održivom razvoju i zelenoj industriji.Due to the growing pollution of the country and environmental awareness, sustainable development is gaining importance and it is developing in parallel with various industries. Thus, the topic of this thesis is the sustainable development of industry and its impact on the environment. Concepts such as sustainable development, green industry and the circular economy will be explained through this paper. It is also very important to mention the development of sustainability over the years and to explain industrial development through industrial revolutions. The environment is polluted in various ways, and the development of technology and industry has only contributed to the emergence of many forms of water, soil and air pollution. Although there is a long and arduous road to a completely green industry and the question is whether it is even possible to have a completely green industry, some industries have started to implement a circular economy in their business. However, all this is just the beginning and there are many shortcomings that arise in the development of green business. Society should be more aware and educated about the concept of sustainable development so that such a development strategy can progress. At the very end of the thesis, the results of a survey with the opinions of respondents on sustainable development and green industry are presented
