About the course
Aim
The course aims at developing the participants’ understanding of a proactive approach to the prevention of environmental impacts from products, organizations and technical systems. This will be accomplished since the participant will be able to:
- Apply different resource strategies on technical systems and products, taking into account systemic effects and challenges of implementation.
- Explain the usefulness and limitations of environmental systems analysis methods and apply them to analyze environmental and resource challenges.
Content
- Resource aspects and strategies such as criticality, dissipation, exergy and entropy, dematerialization, transmaterialization and closing material loops.
- Usefulness and applicability of environmental systems analysis tools for addressing different types of resource and pollution challenges with special emphasis on Life cycle assessment and Material flow analysis.
- Drivers, enablers and barriers for implementation of strategies and measures for obtaining a more effective use of natural resources. This part will cover implications of institutional conditions, worldwide changes and trends and business dimensions.
- Characteristics and environmental pressures from production, use and end-of-life strategies of selected important materials such as metals, cement, plastics and biomass.
