Sustainable product design and lifecycle management

Our students can help you apply lifecycle thinking and circular design strategies to reduce environmental impact whilst enhancing customer value.

Your project may focus on: 

• Lifecycle assessment of current products, or
• Sustainable design opportunity identification, or
• Eco-design recommendations for materials and manufacturing, or
• Circular supply chain design principles, or
• Product sustainability metrics and reporting framework 

The specific focus will be determined through initial discussions about your sustainability goals and product portfolio. 

Ideal for:

• Companies seeking to reduce environmental impact 
• Organisations facing sustainability regulations or demands 
• Businesses differentiating through sustainable design 
• Firms transitioning to circular economy models 
  

Students offer fresh perspectives informed by current academic knowledge. Projects are completed as part of their learning and provide exploratory insights rather than professional consulting advice. 

When you express interest, we will evaluate if your specific project is compatible with the academic knowledge and capabilities of our students and our course learning objectives. 

If your project is accepted, it will go into a queue to be allocated to a student or student team. 

Projects are completed during our academic semesters or quarters, with students spending 8-10 weeks working on the project.
