DESCRIPTION:Join TISED for this interesting seminar with Dr. Nabil Nasr (Di
 rector\, Golisano Institute for Sustainability at the Rochester Institute 
 of Technology)\nOverview\nThe growing demand for new products coupled with
  the rise in consumption in developing economies are straining the environ
 ment around the world. The major cause of continued deterioration in the g
 lobal environment is unsustainable consumption and production\, particular
 ly in industrialized countries. However\, there is strong evidence that tr
 ansitioning to a sustainable economy and circular economy can lead to high
 er economic growth while reducing the impact on the environment. Industry 
 is becoming aware that\, to meet today’s demanding environmental standards
 \, the life-cycle impacts of a production system must be understood and op
 timized.  In response\, many designers are focusing on addressing the envi
 ronmental impacts of products. This presentation will discuss a proposed f
 ramework and methodology for sustainable production and highlight initiati
 ves in this area.  A discussion of 'remanufacturing'\; a key enabling tech
 nology to sustainable production\, will also be presented outlining indust
 ry history\, technologies\, and practices.\n\n	About the Speaker\nDr. Nabil
  Nasr is Associate Provost for Academic Affairs and Director of the Golisa
 no Institute for Sustainability at Rochester Institute of Technology. He h
 as worked in the fields of sustainable production\, remanufacturing\, and 
 sustainable product development for over 28 years\, and is founder of the 
 Center for Remanufacturing and Resource Recovery\, a leading source of app
 lied research and solutions in remanufacturing technologies.  He has devel
 oped strong ties to industry through efforts to implement and improve sust
 ainable design and remanufacturing processes at hundreds of companies from
  diverse sectors.  Dr. Nasr has served as an expert delegate for the U.S.
