Understanding the deep chemistry of the products we use each day is critical to evaluate the impact a product may have on human health and the environment in which we live. Join us for a course that looks at how you, as a specifier of interior products, can make a positive difference on the environment by the choices you make each day. This course details how materials - from the selection process through manufacturing - can be a strategic factor in product design and development. It also demonstrates how the chemistry of materials can impact the lifecycle assessment of a product.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Define the elements of Materials Chemistry for non-technical audiences
- Define the science of Materials Chemistry and its drivers and impact groups
- Relate the science to business with specific information relating to the office furniture industry
- Explain the value of the science, its application and its impact of business
