Fun fact
And did you know that by 2050, the amount of plastic in the oceans could exceed the amount of fish? Each year, around 8 million tons of plastic waste enter the seas — equal to one garbage truck dumping trash into the ocean every single minute. This is the scale of the challenge — and the opportunity — for future sustainability engineers.
Imagine a city that doesn’t just consume energy but actively absorbs CO₂ from the atmosphere, turning it into clean energy and sustainable building materials. By studying Sustainability Technologies you can help bring such innovations to life – designing systems that reduce our carbon footprint and fight climate change.
