WIAS Visiting Researcher Seminar:
Professor HALOG, Anthony “Systems Thinking for a Decarbonised, Circular Economy” (5/30)
Abstract
The journey towards net zero, circular economy requires that manufacturing firms should find innovative ways to be profitable and at the same time expand the traditional models of business to include key socio-environmental considerations. Life-cycle engineering (LCE) is a sustainability-oriented engineering approach that considers the technical, environmental, and economic impacts of decisions within the product life cycle. LCE makes life cycle thinking and product sustainability operational for businesses through continuous improvements of product systems and supporting business assimilation of integrated product policies. This seminar will highlight key holistic and life cycle thinking approaches in view of creating new insights into how circular economy principles can be implemented by firms, both in terms of processes and strategies.
