The Sustainable Manufacturing and Life Cycle Engineering Research Group at UNSW is involved in various industrial and student projects in the field of Life Cycle Engineering (LCE). Our research strengths: 

  • Eco-design 
  • Low carbon manufacturing 
  • Energy efficiency evaluation in manufacturing 
  • Carbon footprint assessment 
  • Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life Cycle Costing (LCC) 
  • Sustainable supply chain management 
  • End-of-Life products treatment, including reuse, remanufacturing, and recycling 

The research group collaborates with Technische Universität Braunschweig (Germany) under the name of Joint German-Australian Research Group in Sustainable Manufacturing and Life Cycle Management from 2009. This collaboration focuses on making multinational manufacturing processes and resource consumption more sustainable.
