Campus seminars on industrial ecology 15-16 June

Seminar 1: Green Electronics and Life Cycle Assessment

15 June, 12 pm - 3 pm

This is a seminar on Green Electronics (environmentally preferred electronics production and products). This includes the use of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to reduce the environmental impacts of electronics.

Program

Presentations

Dr. Otto Andersen, Vestlandsforsking: Opening remarks (pdf)

Professor Johan Liu, Chalmers University of Tehcnology: How to make environmentally friendly electronic products (pdf)

Dr. Anders Andrae, Huawei Electronics: Limitations of LCA in reducing the environmental impact from electronic products and production (pdf)

Seminar 2: Life cycle health risks and environmental impacts of nanomaterials

16 June, 9 am - 11.30 am

This is a seminar on health risks and environmental impacts of nanomaterials through their whole life cycle. This includes the use of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to determine the health risks and environmental impacts of these materials.
