and Energy fields, 53 invited presentations, 57 technical reports,
16 books, and 15book chapters. He developed a new concept to assess
the life cycle of a product according to cradle-to-cradle concept
instead of cradle-to-grave concept used worldwide until today. This
concept was developed based on 30 years of intensive and continual
effort at AUC and was documented in two books. The first book
published in 2007 by Elsevier Academic Press is entitled
Sustainable Industrial Design and Waste Management:
Cradle-to-Cradle for Sustainable Development. The second book
published in 2015 by AUC Press is entitled Sustainability and
Innovation: The Next Global Industrial Revolution. These two books
are the first books worldwide to demonstrate the concept of
cradle-to-cradle to protect not only the environment but also the
natural resources in terms of business plans. Dr. El-Haggar
developed the first and the only Sustainable Development labs
worldwide located in Mechanical Engineering Department at
AUC.
