This course treats Resource efficient and Cleaner production in order to establish a regular way of Waste and Energy Management. You will learn about Green Design and Manufacturing and identify all kind of waste produced by manufacturing operations such as: Chips from machining and trimmed materials from sheet forming, casting, and molding operations; Slag from foundries and welding operations; Additives in sand used in sand-casting operations; Hazardous waste and toxic materials used in various products; Lubricants and coolants in metalworking and machining operations; Liquids from processes such as heat treating and plating; Solvents from cleaning operations; Smoke and pollutants from furnaces and gases from burning fossil fuels, etc. We will deal with Sustainable Development Goals and their impact on Waste and Energy Management. Through Material Flow analysis will be explained Detailed description of the material and energy use in order to respond to the following questions: Which waste and emission streams are generated? Which raw materials are lost? Where and why does this happen? Where are the weak points? Where are potentials for improvement? Which materials can be reused?
You will have the opportunity to actively participate in the product change, technological modification and internal recycling process. During this course we will put the most stress on: Environmental Sound Technologies, The Transfer of Environmental Sound Technologies (EST); EST Transfer barriers; Technology need Assessment, Signals for change, Technology Strategy, etc. You will be inspired by the success stories of energy communities, a project born and developed at the International University of Sarajevo, as a practical example of applied waste and energy management.
