What is Sustainability?
“Sustainability calls for a decent standard of living for everyone today without
compromising the needs of future generations.” – United Nations
But what does this mean in practical terms?
• The earth’s population will grow
to 9 billion by 2050
• Demand for natural resources is
increasing
• Rising living standards will
increase environmental impact
The chart on the right shows how
many earths would be needed to
sustain the global population if
everyone had the living standard
of one particular country.

Climate Change risk can be addressed in two ways:

Materials can be broken
into 4 groups:
Energy
Water
For IB projects, consumed
energy can be split into

Material Disposal and Recycling
Materials used or generated in any given production process can be split into 4
groups:
Recyclable
• Recyclable materials (either organic or
inorganic) should be used wherever possible in
the production process.
• If the waste is high quality, it can often be sold
and re-used in another manufacturing process.
• Recycled material is often cheaper to purchase
than non-recycled material.
Non-Recyclable
VS
• Try to select biodegradable materials that can
be composted and turned into fertilizer.
• When neither recyclable or biodegradable
materials are available, ensure that waste
generated is disposed of properly.
• In developing countries, waste collection
services are often inadequate or unavailable.
Waste is often disposed of improperly in landfills
or in waterways.
Or
Organic
• Derived from plant or animal material.
• Can decompose and be used as fertilizer or as
an energy source.
Inorganic
VS
• Common types include metals, plastics, and
glass.
• Often can be recycled.

Biogas
Description
Heat is generated from the
combustion of densified
biomass.
Heat is generated by the
combustion of biogas produced
from biomass or other organics.
Solar
Electricity is generated using
photovoltaic panels.
Wind
Electricity is generated using
wind turbines.

No restrictions on use
Free of toxic chemicals and pathogens
Opportunities to replace potable water with less
expensive, greywater should be taken whenever it
is safe to do so.
Greywater
•
•
•
•
Blackwater
•
•
•
Contaminated by faecal material and dangerous
pathogens.
Must be disposed of carefully.
If de-watered (dried) and composted for a year or
more, the heat will destroy potential pathogens.
Manure can then be used as fertilizer.
From household processes such as washing and
cleaning.
Re-used for cleaning, toilets, or irrigation.
For irrigation, should be applied by drip systems or
under mulch, not via spray.
Always test for toxic chemicals and for excessive
salinity.
Toxic Water
•
•
Contaminated by chemicals and is unsuitable for
consumption, irrigation, or release as effluent into
environment.
Must be disposed of properly to prevent
contamination of land or water sources.
Always test water prior to use or release and comply with
local environmental regulations.
