Description

The ECOThink project integrates design for sustainability and life cycle assessment (LCA) into vocational education and training (VET) to equip future professionals with the skills needed to calculate and interpret environmental footprints. It aims to develop sustainable practices in companies by promoting responsible product and process design, reducing environmental impact, and improving economic efficiency.
