Sustainable Industrial Systems is a research group at The University of Manchester led by Professor Adisa Azapagic.

The main aim of our research is to help identify sustainable solutions for industrial systems on a life cycle basis, taking into account economic, environmental and social aspects. We work across different sectors and supply chains including chemicals, construction, food & drink, energy and transport. In addition to industrial organisations, we collaborate with government, NGO and other organisations.

We specialise in the following areas:

• Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
• Carbon Footprinting
• Sustainable Production and Consumption
• Sustainability Assessment
• Sustainable Technologies
• Sustainable Cities
• Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
• Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA)

The group is funded by EPSRC, ESRC, NERC, The Carbon Trust and industry.
