Module 5 - End of Use Strategies - Abstract
This module addresses strategies and challenges associated with reducing the environmental impact of a product after it has been used by a consumer or business. Discussion will focus on remanufacturing, recycling and disposal options. Students will evaluate the end-of-use strategy for a product and propose a redesign alternative for a sustainable cradle-to-cradle design. Evaluation of the redesigned product will include both environmental impacts as well as cost ramifications for the redesigned product.
Additional Material Available
It is advisable to visit a landfill with a power generating station for hands-on learning during the course of this module. KIET can provide interested parties with links to local landfills that may be interested in hosting a tour.
