| Course description |
|
(Tachibana) Synthetic polymers “plastics” are an indispensable material for modern society. On the other hand, environmental pollution caused by mass consumption and disposal of plastics has become a big problem. Therefore, the United Nations (UN) has adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Europe has proposed the Circular Economy (CE), and Japan is also actively working on enacting the "Basic Law for Establishing a Recycling Society" and advocating the "Osaka Blue Ocean Vision". In this lecture, I will give a lecture on "mass consumption of fossil resources" and "environmental outflow " as environmental problems caused by plastics, and then give lectures on bio-based materials, biodegradable materials, and plastic recycling. (Konno) Utilization of renewable biomass resources is key technology to build circulatory society. In this lecture, students learn the properties of plant biomass and its biological degradation. |
| Expected Learning |
|
(Tachibana) Learners who successfully complete will be able to: (1) Recognize environmental problems by plastics and its solution: C~A (2) In addition to (1), you will be able to correctly explain the current situations and issues of bio-based materials, biodegradable materials, and plastic recycling: B~A (3) Propose own ideas regarding environmental problems by plastics and its solution : A~S (Konno) The students are expected to understand basics of wood biodegradation mechanisms and to be able to think out the effective utilization of plant biomass. Corresponding criteria in the Diploma Policy: See the Curriculum maps. (URL: https://www.tuat.ac.jp/campuslife_career/campuslife/policy/ ) |

(Tachibana) Grading is evaluated by submitting reports after each lecture(100%). (Konno) quiz (30%) and final report (70%) |
| Message from instructor(s) |
|
(Tachibana) The environmental problems caused by plastics are flooded with information in the mass media and the Internet. However, they cannot be easily solved due to intertwined complex problems. I hope that this lecture will help you acquire the correct basic knowledge and help you in your daily life and activities after your graduation. (Konno) Please deeply consider how we should use biomass resources. |
