Sustainability has become an increasingly critical factor that has to be taken into consideration in terms of selection of materials. In the context of materials, sustainability takes the form of smarter production technologies, recyclability, material longevity, biodegradability, lower CO2 emissions, and a well-established circular economy.
The aim of this course is to provide students with basic knowledge on how to select sustainable resources for their design strategies in the CCIs. This unit offers concrete examples of ongoing initiatives that take into consideration the sustainability of resources and their selection. Students will understand how sustainability plans can support the selection of sustainable resources and will be able to:
- Identify where waste and pollution occur in economic activity
- Develop a plan for use of sustainable resources
- Differentiate the resources in reference to sustainability in the CCI sector
Students will approach these concepts through the knowledge of a set of good practices and resources that are currently in operation.
