In the early stages of innovation, sustainability assessments
are crucial not only for minimizing environmental impacts but also for guiding
technologies toward optimal, long-term growth pathways. Starting with
fundamental factors like material and energy consumption, these assessments can
help delve deeper into understanding the full environmental and economic
benefits of a technology. We are a club at Purdue University, dedicated to
harnessing this power of sustainability assessments through the following
missions -
- Establish a hub where students can engage and develop skills in
conducting sustainability assessments, an emerging and increasingly in-demand
field.
- Offer a consultative platform tailored to Purdue's research community,
aiding them in incorporating sustainability insights to advance their work and
meet environmental impact reporting standards.
- Promote the accessibility of comprehensive tools such as Life Cycle
Assessment and provide training and educational resources to our members and the
wider community.
