  2. Sustainability Grant Agreement Reference Number: LLP-ERA-IP-2011-LT-0580 • What is Sustainability? • Definition of Sustainable Development: ”Sustainable Development is developmentthatmeets the needs of the present withoutcompromising the ability of future generations to meettheirownneeds” - Brundtland Commision 1987

  3. Why Sustainability Grant Agreement Reference Number: LLP-ERA-IP-2011-LT-0580 • Population: ”Day of 7 Billion” wasdeclared by UN Population Division to be the 31st of October 2011 • Ressources: Renewable - Nonrenewable Aral Sea 1989 -2008

  4. Grant Agreement Reference Number: LLP-ERA-IP-2011-LT-0580 Landfills Damage the environment The Sustainable solution: Plastic Recycling Only a few percentage of the plastics worldwide are recycled, because it is a complex process Plastic 1950's, used everyday Most are not biodegradable Disposal is a problem The Pacific Plastic Continent: floating island of plastic twice the size of Texas in the Pacific Ocean HDPE PVC

  5. Basics of Plastic Recyling Grant Agreement Reference Number: LLP-ERA-IP-2011-LT-0580 The Plastic RecyclingCircle • Sorting the plastic • Machine that shredders the plastic into tiny flakes • The flakes are then washed, dried and melted. • The melted plastic is extruded into pellets which are sold to end markets or manufacturers who then develop it into various plastic products

  6. WhyRecycle? Grant Agreement Reference Number: LLP-ERA-IP-2011-LT-0580 Environmental Advantages Leads to oil conservation Decrease Discharge of Greenhouse Gas: number of steps involved in recycling of plastic is fewer, it consumes less energy and creates less pollution. It needs less energy Water usage in manufacturing original plastic is 90% more compare the water used in the process of recycle plastic. Landfills can be recovered Applications • Spun into fine threath-like material (carpets, fabrics like fleece) • Pellets are melted and thermoformed into plastic containers (garden products and packaching)

  7. Product Life CircleApproaches Grant Agreement Reference Number: LLP-ERA-IP-2011-LT-0580 Cradle to Grave

  8. Cradle to Grave Grant Agreement Reference Number: LLP-ERA-IP-2011-LT-0580 • Life cycle analysis, which is the evaluation of the environmental impacts of a given product to when it becomes waste • Take-make-waste- model on which the industrial revolution is built • All this waste pollutes the air, water and soil, and valuable or recyclable materials are lost to incineration or landfill

  9. Cradle to Cradle Grant Agreement Reference Number: LLP-ERA-IP-2011-LT-0580

  10. Cradle to Cradle - The Philosophy Grant Agreement Reference Number: LLP-ERA-IP-2011-LT-0580 • German chemist Michael Braungart and American architect William McDonough- Revolutionists in cradle to cradle concept and two men that are trying to find a way how to ‘remake the way we make things’ • Braungartand McDonough together founded ‘Design Chemistry’- a firm that works with business and governments to find C2C solutions to their problems

  11. Cradle to Cradle - The Philosophy Grant Agreement Reference Number: LLP-ERA-IP-2011-LT-0580 All thingsmanufacturedshouldfrom beginningbedesigned with intention thattheywilleventuallyberecycled, eitherback to the soil, harmlessly, or intosomeotherproduct WASTE=FOOD Not necessarilythe kind youeat, but the kind thatfeedssomethinguseful

  12. Cradle to Cradle - The Method Grant Agreement Reference Number: LLP-ERA-IP-2011-LT-0580 • A method that is much more environmentally friendly • The aim of C2C is to design production techniques that are not just efficient but are essentially waste free • Recycling, reusing, composting- tools that can be used in Cradle to Cradle framework

  13. Grant Agreement Reference Number: LLP-ERA-IP-2011-LT-0580 A Cradle to CradleExample A beer bottle (in countries where it can be turned in for reuse/recycling)- it is made to be reused Herman Miller Aeron chair- almost two-thirds of each chair is recycled materials, and 94% of the entire chair is recyclable. It also adapts to virtually every body
