8 Acting Unsustainably Suburban Sprawl, SUVs and Oil Dependency Precious Metals in the Garbage Exhausted Fisheries, Forests, and Aquifers Continental Monoculture of Corn In all cases, the engineers did what they were supposed to do But they were solving the wrong problems October 11, 2010 John Lees / infraharmonic LLC 8

9 Sub-optimization Technology and the economy are supposed to be improving prosperity -- but are they today? Failing to consider whole systems Resource conservation Social effects of technology Feedback effects in the biosphere Failing to define appropriate objectives Short term vs. long term Investors vs. customers vs. employees vs. innocent bystanders October 11, 2010 John Lees / infraharmonic LLC 9

10 Sustainable Innovation: Solving the Right Problems World Commission on Environment and Development (1983): "Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. October 11, 2010 John Lees / infraharmonic LLC 10

11 Sustainable Innovation: Solving the Right Problems The Natural step Framework Four system conditions : In a sustainable society, nature is not subject to systematically increasing: 1. Concentrations of substances extracted from the earth's crust 2. Concentrations of substances produced by society 3. Degradation by physical means 4. And, in that society, people are not subject to conditions that systemically undermine their capacity to meet their needs Source: October 11, 2010 John Lees / infraharmonic LLC 11

12 Sustainable Innovation: Solving the Right Problems The Natural Step Framework Backcasting: each step should move us closer to the 4 conditions preserve as much flexibility as possible pay for itself as quickly as possible Source: October 11, 2010 John Lees / infraharmonic LLC 12

13 Sustainable Industry Nature and humanity were getting along fine before Industry was invented, but going back is not a humane option We need industrial-scale solutions to support more than 6 billion people But we need to copy the magic of natural ecosystems October 11, 2010 John Lees / infraharmonic LLC 13

14 Natural Ecosystems October 11, 2010 Complex and diverse Multiple redundant pathways Zero waste Biological and geo-physical Solar powered John Lees / infraharmonic LLC 14

16 Industrial Sustainability To a loop? Or something more like a food web October 11, 2010 John Lees / infraharmonic LLC 16

17 Engineering Sustainability How? LCA and DfE? LCA has been a great eye-opener, but Incremental and ultimately limited Too many assumptions to be credible Really just more sub-optimization October 11, 2010 John Lees / infraharmonic LLC 17

18 Engineering Sustainability Case study: Tetra Pak 160 billion milk and juice cartons per year: 4M tonnes of carton material Envisioning a zero-waste material-cycling web Collaboratively developing industrial ecosystems» Visualizing and quantifying the status quo with system models» Comparing across geographies» Identifying high-leverage R&D opportunities» Clearing bottlenecks and breaking vicious cycles in partnership with other stakeholders October 11, 2010 John Lees / infraharmonic LLC 18
