Environmental engineering
Activities
in the Environmental
Engineering sector reflect the growing awareness of environmental needs and
challenges faced by the agricultural industry. Drawing expertise from the diverse centres
comprising the Institute for Sustainable Systems and Technologies,
researchers aim to promote the development and application of improved
processes which will minimise negative environmental impacts.
Researchers actively pursue sponsored research,
consultancy and technical projects into issues that impact upon the
environment. With a focus on the promotion of a cleaner environment,
researchers also work towards increasing productivity and reducing costs
through the recovery of by-product and raw material savings combined
with a reduction in waste materials.
