The course aims to familiarise students with the fundamental principles and practices of sustainable manufacturing. It covers the impact of manufacturing on the environment, society, and the economy, and introduces strategies to minimise this impact. Key topics include resource efficiency, waste reduction, renewable energy, sustainable materials, circular economy, and emerging technologies and tools that promote sustainability in manufacturing. The following are discussed from Agenda 2030: Goal 8.4 “Use methods that increase resource efficiency in production”; Goal 9.4 “Apply techniques for more efficient use of resources”, “Apply clean and environmentally friendly techniques and industrial processes”; and Goal 12.4 “Promote technical solutions that reduce the amount of waste”.
