  Sustainable Industrial System for Urban System

Our research aims at the Sustainable Industrial System for Urban Region by understanding the flow of material in urban center. Our vision is based on the encouraging new manufacturing activity through waste diversion could a promising economic development strategy that promote urban sustainability. We develop a framework for modeling and assessing the impact of redesigning urban materials flows to advance the mutual goals of sustainable industrial and urban systems.

 Key Research Targets

    Material Source and Flow: Developing the framework for generating product inventory estimates (PIEs) of a select set of product and materials in urban center.

    Industrial Process of Recycling: investigating how new technological advances in product and process technology will affect material inventories, recycling infrastructure, and economic development.

    Assessing Socio-Economic Impact: Modeling input-output for material flow for new recycling and remanufacturing industry and expanding to Social Accounting Matrix

    Environmental Impact: Assessing the environmental loading by new recycling activities by transportation modeling and Life Cycle Assessment.

Our SISFUR research is a collaborative study from the Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Economic Geography, and City and Regional Planning. Our faculty is a leading expert in the key fields including carpet recycling, Geographic Information System, and I-O and SAM modeling.
