Designing Climate Action - Introductions

Rebecca Gard Silver

We’re doing this because it’s hard. We need to move beyond eco design - greener materials, improved life cycle impact, designing for recyclability. We’re seizing the moment of Climate Action talks in Paris to think macro, and micro, and develop prototypes for building the change we want to see in the world. How can we use the tools of design, systems thinking, and business models, to move the bigger levers in the system? This course is a 2 year environmental science and startup MBA course packed into one semester, plus a boot camp in how to organize stakeholders and facilitate community involvement.

The document discusses the Green Productivity Programme, which aims to help enterprises reduce their environmental impact and improve sustainability. It outlines the need for the programme by highlighting current environmental issues like water scarcity and resource abuse. The programme teaches enterprises to apply 5R principles - reduce, reuse, recycle, refuse, and redesign - and conduct improvement projects using an 8-step approach involving defining goals, analyzing problems, implementing solutions, and measuring results. Key focus areas include reducing carbon, water, and chemical footprints to build a greener economy.

1Lec 6: Waste Min & Pollution Prevention 9/21/17 Lec 6: Waste Min & Pollution Prevention 2 9/21/17 To many of us today, the thought of not recycling packaging and unused materials, and not designing products so that they can generate less waste during manufacture and use seems unconscionable. But things were not always that way. It has only been in the last 30 to 35 years that waste minimization and pollution prevention became common words in the environmental vocabulary. Prior to that, the focus was on treatment – get rid of waste in the most practical and (probably) safe manner. Resources were plenty, and there was little thought as to the inevitable time when they would not be plenty. Fortunately for all of us, EPA recognized that there needed to be a change in strategy and that treatment should be preceded by a number of other activities that would reduce the amount of waste requiring generation. It is unclear to me how much of the rationale was based on reducing the volume of waste compared with the desire to save natural resources. The RCRA amendments in 1984 was the first time that pollution prevention was listed as a policy, and that waste treatment would no longer be preferred. 3 9/21/17 In 1990, the pollution Prevention Act was passed. It set in place the policy stating that source reduction of waste would be preferred and that waste reduction and elimination were ultimately the goals. Unlike other “Waste Acts”, however, the Pollution Prevention Act was not codified into a new regulation; rather its goals and policies have been embedded into most major environmental legislation via internal EPA policies and amendments to major legislation, such as the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), the National Environmental Policy Act, and the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). 4 9/21/17 The Pollution Prevention Act established for the first time what is often referred to as the Waste Management Hierarchy. It establishes the order of preference for various waste management strategies, starting at the top with the most preferable, and moving to the bottom with disposal being the least preferred option, to be chosen after consideration of all the approaches above it in the hierarchy. Definitions of these terms are on the next slide. And just so you are aware, Woodsy the Owl was around when I was growing up! His focus was more on litter than anything else, but I thought he fit here anyway. Lec 6: Waste Min & Pollution Prevention 5 9/21/17 Reduction means that a waste material is not generated to start, and therefore requires no further management or treatment, thus saving the most resources. Recycling means that a waste or scrap material was generated, but the material can be re- processed and re-used, often bu ...

This document discusses the history and development of waste minimization and pollution prevention strategies over the past 30-35 years. It outlines key events and policies that established pollution prevention as a priority, including the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990. The Act established a waste management hierarchy that prioritizes source reduction and waste elimination. The document also discusses how pollution prevention approaches like improving operations, material substitution, and recycling can reduce waste generation and save resources at manufacturing facilities.
