EOP Definition
Technology that is used to reduce pollutants and waste at the end of a process.
It is estimated that shipping is responsible for between 2 and 3 percent of the world’s total greenhouse gas emissions. The United Nations’ International Maritime Organization (UNIMO) has set targets for shipping companies to reduce their current emissions by at least 50 percent by 2050. In response to this requirement, designers are working on clean technologies to power large ships. Rotor sails made from carbon glass fibre are one example of a clean technology. Rotor sails were first developed in the 1920s but interest in them was not revived until the early 21st century,
Outline one driver for using clean technology to develop the rotor sail.
international/government legislation/target;
aimed at reducing global emissions from shipping;
reduce fuel/energy consumption;
conserving natural resources/to be more cost-effective;
What were the required Components our project
A Presentation, Activity, Test
What Time does Arizona ship there products? And Why?
Night, to avoid slower traffic
What Was the Second Category On the Slides Show
Drivers for Clean Technology
System Level Solution
Refers to solutions that require systems to change not just singular portions or steps.Usually Regulatory in manner.
Explain why end-of-pipe technologies may not be the most effective strategy to reduce pollution.
end-of pipe technologies only focus on reducing pollutants at the end of a process ✓
however pollutants may still be released during the production process
strategies (system level solutions) that capture the pollutants earlier in the production process can result in less pollutants being emitted overall
end-of pipe technologies only focus on reducing pollutants at the end of a process different types of pollutants can be released during the manufacturing process that may not be addressed/eliminated with one single solution
What is Eco Designs assigned Chapter and group?

List 3 Social Drivers
Consumer groups, public pressure, and public perception could influence a company to implement clean technologies.
What was the picture for the "response types" introduction slide?
Two people, wind turbine, and solar panels
Radical Vs. Incremental (3 Points for each)
Radical:Existing technology can be use-Minimal changes to current systems-Low Risk-Easily and efficiently responds to new legislation-Improves competitiveness-Small changes need to happen consistently-Low potential for market growth
Incremental: More opportunities to innovate the market, fewer competitors)-High potential for market growth-No innovations drive new technologies-High Risk-Research and Development are costly and time-consuming
List two reasons why polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is often used for food packaging.
lightweight;
low cost/cheap;
easily shaped/moulded;
non toxic/food safe;
widely available;
recyclable;
waterproof/non absorbent;
Who was assigned 2.2?
2.2 Waste Mitigation Strategies: Aiden and Patryk
What industries can you find Clean Technologies in?
A broad range of industries, including water, energy, manufacturing, advanced materials and transportation
What Slide had a Bicycle on it?
Why it Matters, 5
4 Response types
Passive:Ignoring Pollution with no effort toward waste management
Reactive:Dilution and dispersion of Pollution. Does not stop pollution, just spreads it out more widely
Constructive:End of pipe treatment: minimization of the release of a pollutant
Proactive:Cleaner production overall. Treatment of pollutants during entire system
