Title

Enhancing skills in sustainable design, life cycle analysis, and carbon footprinting for environmentally friendly products and processes

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. The project focuses on teaching students to perform LCA using tools like OpenLCA and the Sustainable Process Index (SPI), enhancing their ability to assess environmental risks. By providing practical skills in sustainability and critical competencies in environmental analysis, ECOThink contributes to fostering innovation and preparing a more sustainable industrial future.
