This module equips Master’s students with tools like LCA and MFA, highlighting sustainability principles.
The Sustainable Product Development (SPD) module bridges sustainability concepts into higher education, equipping Master’s students with theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and critical thinking to address sustainability challenges. Combining lectures with hands-on exercises and a flipped classroom, it engages students with tools like Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Material Flow Analysis (MFA) to apply sustainability principles in real-world scenarios. Topics such as circular economy, sustainable business models, and ecolabels provide a comprehensive understanding of sustainability across the product lifecycle. The course progresses from foundational principles to advanced applications, linking theory and practice. This prepares students to assess environmental impacts, develop sustainable solutions, and balance competing requirements, meeting industry and societal needs.
