ntroduction to Sustainable
Development
Humanity has evolved and flourish by using
Nature's resources. The more than 7 billion
individuals demand energy and produce waste
and derivatives that the complex ecological web
processes. Finding that there are limits in this
process is pushing us to find alternatives to our
life style.

ntroduction to Sustainable
Development
Sustainable Development as a concept emerged
in the 80's as an alternative to social and
environmental destructive effects from the model
of 'Economic Development'.

ntroduction to Sustainable
Development
A world wide strategy to protect the Environement
was presented by the UN, the World Wild Fund
and the nternational Union to preserve Nature
and Natural Resources:
'In order to reach sustainable development, all
social and ecological factors have to be consider
as well as the economic ones.'
This is called the 'Triple Bottom Line' Strategy.

Economic Development in 1987.

poverty, and defines Sustainable Development as:

WCED recommended seven critical actions to
reach good quality of life:

*econstruct growth

-over essential needs first2 wor3, food, energy, water

and sanitation.

%reserve and improve base resources.

Reorient technology and risk management.

Include and combine enviromental and economic

parameters into the decision making process.

Some History
n 1992, the UN organizes a world meeting in Rio
de Janerio around Sustainable Development: 180
countries attended.
n 2002, the World summit on Sustainable
Development in Johannesburgo, 183 countries
confirmed their commitment to generate local
policies to reach the goals of sustainable
development.

Sustainable Development ndexes
Sustainable development indexes were grouped
in four categories, according to the Document
called Agenda 21 written by the UN Commision
for Sustainable Development in the Earth Summit
in Rio de Janerio in 1992:
Social,
Economic,
Ecological and,
nstitutional.

Social Aspects
Poverty reduction.
Demographic Dynaics and
Sustainability.
Promotion of Education, public
awareness and training.
Protection and improvement of
human health
Promotion of development of
sustainable human settlements.

Economic Aspects
nternational
cooperation to improve
sustainable development
in countries, and their
internal policies.
Change of consumption
patterns.
Finantial mechanisms
and resources.
Technology transfer.

Ecological Aspects
Drinking water.
Protection of oceans, seas and coastal areas.
ntegral view for planning and management of land
usage.
Management of fragile ecosystems:

desertification reduction and drought.

Mountain regions stewardship.

Life ecosystem protection

Rural development and sustainable
agriculture.

Ecological Aspects (Cont.)
Reversion of deforestation.
Biological diversity conservation.
Environmentally clean biotechnology.
Protection of the atmosphere.
Clean management of solid waste and treatment
water.
Clean and safe management
of toxic chemical substances
and dangerous and radioactive
waste.

nstitutional Aspects
ntegration of environment and development in the
decision making process.
7 Science a%%lie& to Sustainable 8e+elo%ment-
nternational legal instruments: Laws, public policies
and best practices.
Efficient communication for agile adoption of
decisions.
Empowerment of stakeholders with information and
decision making power

Sustainable Manufacturing
The general concept of Sustainable
Manufacturing has been adopted by commercial
enterprises and scientific and engineering
organizations.
The World Business Council for Sustainable
Development (WBCSD) was created by 165 firms
and aims to reach sustainable development
thorugh the three pillars of Economic
Development, Ecological Balance and Social
Progress.

Ecological Footprint
This index is an indicator of the
human demand for resources from
the planet, comparing it against the
planet's capacity of regeneration.

Ecological Footprint
This index represents the area of air or water
ecologically productive (cultures, pasture, forests or
aquatic ecosystems) required to generate those
resources and assimilate the of human population
according to their specific life style, indefinitely

Product Life Cycle
This new paradigm involves looking at the whole
Product Life Cycle, development of environmental
strategies and business administration within a
context of environmental and social
responsibilities in the chain of value creation.

Eco-eficiency
Eco-eficiency is how companies and
organizations help progress of nations or regions
towards Sustainable Development and, at the
same time, improves their own competitiveness.

Eco-eficiency
1. Keeping clean and systematic
operations.
2. Apply Environemental, Quality,
safety and occupational health
Management Systems, preferibly
certified certificados.
3. Reduce quantity of materials to
produce goods and services.
4. Reduce energy consumtion in
the production of goods and
services.

Eco-eficiency
5. ncrease use of recycle materials.
6. Maximize use of renewable resources.
7. ncrease product durability.
8. Manage waste efficiently and enviromentally
acceptable.

Eco-Design
Eco-Design or Ecological Design imply an integral
planning of processes, materials and product
concept, considering the impact to ecology as
important as traditional design factors.
t takes ecological factor as important as finacial
factors, aestetics, functional design and customer
preferences.
The goal of "co4!esign is to minimi5e negative
environmental impacts in all its life cycle.

Eco-innovation
New product development process where the
customer or user receives value to satisfy its
needs, by reducing the negative impact to the
environment.

Conclusions

Sustainability is a relatively new concept that

was created as a result of an international effort
to preserve our planets resources and reach
social justice.

World organizations have generated

recommendations and strategies that countries
have adapted into laws, creating regulatory
bodies and local promotors.

Conclusions

Sustainability is recognized as the way to

manage resources without compromising
processes and available resources of future
generations.

We have established general terms for

Sustainable Manufacturing that we will be using
in future sessions of this seminar.
