INTRODUCTION
The Sustainability and Life Cycle Management (SLCM) group strives to foster a sustainable future, where businesses make profits while making a positive impact on people and the planet. Our philosophy is to apply interdisciplinary science and life cycle thinking in solving sustainability challenges.
We focus our R&D efforts in two key areas:
- Sustainable Design & Operations which looks at how resource consumption and waste can be minimised to improve resource efficiency in business operations; and
- Sustainability Informatics & Strategy which looks at quantifying sustainability performance and how business models and practices can be transformed to decarbonise operations and recirculate resources within the economy.
Collaborating with partners across A*STAR, universities, and the industry, R&D outcomes are translated into capabilities and tools, enabling companies to improve their resource efficiency, and transit towards a sustainable and circular economy.
