Demcon high-tech systems heeft dit gerepost
Since I started with my website 'De Duurzame Nerd' more than a year ago, I have not been posting a lot about my work at Demcon. But this is too cool not to share 😉. 🔽🔽 Last week Demcon Delft held an internal conference called WestCon. I had the honors to host a session about #Sustainability ☘. We talked about what sustainability is, how our personal choices can make great impact and how we can incorporate sustainability in our design process 😎. The latter is of great importance, because we know from research (for instance by Babette Porcelijn/Think Big Act Now) that stuff we buy has the largest environmental impact of all categories. Especially when it incorporates electronics ⚡. And this is exactly what we typically design at Demcon high-tech systems and Demcon life sciences & health: high quality mechatronic systems. Key in the process of sustainable design is the execution of a Life Cycle Analysis (#LCA) early in the design process. And then use the ourcome to reduce the product footprint. We have already done LCAs at Demcon for multiple products 😀. Cherry on the cake was that the final, keynote talk was given by Helga van Leur ☀️, who talked about the climate, the weather and sustainability in general. Much food for thought! credits photo: Studio Dijkgraaf
