ECLIPS faculty are productively engaged with the business community; industry associations; and local, state and federal government.
Workshops
These workshops aim to bring together industry, policy makers, and academics to learn from each other about the latest developments in research and practice.
Product re-X: Recovery, Recycling, Remanufacturing and Reuse. Innovations in Business Models, Product Design and Economic Development
A great way of bringing students in touch with industry is through course projects. These projects also result in tangible outputs for sponsor companies such as spreadsheets for scenario analysis, LCA analyses, and operational/strategic recommendations. Recent projects include:
Reviewing and analyzing current Georgia Tech surplus policies and procedures for electronic equipment
— Sponsored by GT Procurement Services
Analyzing the viability of a product recovery system for used mattresses
— Jointly sponsored by the Army Installation Management Agency SouthEast Region and the International Sleep Products Association
