Understanding the benefits and risks of closed loop material life cycle assessment; Developing a comprehensive knowledge for interdisciplinary thinking, capability for selecting environmental sound materials.

The development, production and usage of materials are not only determined by technical and economical, but also by ecological aspect. The lecture shows the benefits of environmental sound materials-technology. Based on the idea of closed loop materials life cycle, material selection will be discussed and evaluated. Case studies will help to understand the interaction of properties, production route of materials and the energy and material flow.

The schedule of the lecture is in TISS available.
