Initiativ att vara stolt \u00f6ver<\/h2>\n

Charlotte Flodin och Anna Berglund<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nu drar h\u00f6sten ig\u00e5ng med en m\u00e4ngd os\u00e4kerheter om hur vi f\u00e5r transportera oss och ses fysiskt. Men lika s\u00e4kert som amen i kyrkan \u00e4r att ITM-skolans h\u00e5llbarhetsarbete rullar p\u00e5 som vanligt. Vi, Anna Berglund, ITM:s h\u00e5llbarhetsstrateg fr\u00e5n GVS, och Charlotte Flodin, ITM:s milj\u00f6ombud, har f\u00e5tt m\u00f6jligheten att dela med oss av vad som h\u00e4nder.<\/p>\n

Visste du till exempel att vi alla, s\u00e5v\u00e4l anst\u00e4llda som studenter, kan vara med och p\u00e5verka KTH:s nya h\u00e5llbarhetsm\u00e5l, allts\u00e5 de som kommer att g\u00e4lla fr\u00e5n n\u00e4sta \u00e5r och fyra \u00e5r fram\u00e5t? Den 3:e september arrangerar KTH Sustainability Office ett workshoptillf\u00e4lle d\u00e4r alla p\u00e5 KTH \u00e4r v\u00e4lkomna att delta i arbetet med att utveckla de nya h\u00e5llbarhetsm\u00e5len.<\/p>\n

L\u00e4s mer och anm\u00e4l dig till workhopen h\u00e4r<\/a><\/p>\n

Men insatserna kring de senaste tidens arbete f\u00f6r att f\u00f6rb\u00e4ttra milj\u00f6 och klimat inom ITM ska inte gl\u00f6mmas bort, h\u00e4r \u00e4r n\u00e5gra initiativ:<\/p>\n

Digitalisering och resefria m\u00f6ten<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Digitalt l\u00e4rande p\u00e5 ITM ledde den digitala omst\u00e4llningen under den speciella v\u00e5ren som pr\u00e4glades h\u00e5rt av covid-19. Under bara n\u00e5gra veckor lyckades man introducera KTH:s l\u00e4rare till det digitala utbildningsformatet. Den digitala omst\u00e4llningen ger \u00e4ven en stor del av personalen en st\u00f6rre flexibilitet att kunna avst\u00e5 fr\u00e5n resande, vilket inte bara \u00e4r bra ur ett smittoperspektiv utan ger flera positiva effekter b\u00e5de g\u00e4llande arbetsmilj\u00f6fr\u00e5gor och minskad klimatp\u00e5verkan.<\/p>\n

Forskning<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sverige har exporterat\u00a0j\u00e4rn och\u00a0st\u00e5l sedan medeltiden, och nu st\u00e5r vi inf\u00f6r en sm\u00e4rre milj\u00f6revolution: En klimatf\u00f6rb\u00e4ttrad produktion!\u00a0SSAB:s st\u00e5ltillverkning\u00a0st\u00e5r f\u00f6r ca 10 % av Sveriges totala koldioxidutsl\u00e4pp. SSAB, Vattenfall och LKAB s\u00e5g behovet av att minska st\u00e5lproduktionens klimatp\u00e5verkan och startade d\u00e5 initiativet HYBRIT, med m\u00e5ls\u00e4ttningen att utveckla v\u00e4rldens f\u00f6rsta fossilfria st\u00e5ltillverkningsprocess. I HYBRIT:s forskningsprogram unders\u00f6ker Johan Martinsson, forskare vid Institutionen f\u00f6r Materialvetenskap, och tre kollegor till honom hur\u00a0v\u00e4tgas kan anv\u00e4ndas i st\u00e5lproduktionen f\u00f6r att drastiskt minska utsl\u00e4ppen av v\u00e4xthusgaser. L\u00e4s mer om detta enormt sp\u00e4nnande initiativ p\u00e5 ITM:s webbplats \u201dKTH i st\u00e5lrevolution<\/a>\u201d och p\u00e5 HYBRIT:s egna webbplats. <\/a><\/p>\n

Utbildning<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Anna Jerbrant och Andreas Alm Arvidsson har tillsammans med kursansvariga g\u00e5tt igenom ITM:s kursutbud och sett \u00f6ver vilka kurser som taggats med milj\u00f6- och h\u00e5llbarhetsfokus. F\u00f6re inventeringen var 70 kurser m\u00e4rkta, efter senaste genomg\u00e5ngen har vi 214 m\u00e4rkta kurser. En effekt av inventeringen \u00e4r att fortbildningstillf\u00e4llen nu planeras f\u00f6r ITM:s l\u00e4rare, s\u00e5 att vi kan bli \u00e4nnu b\u00e4ttre p\u00e5 att inkludera h\u00e5llbarhetsfr\u00e5gor i v\u00e5ra kurser och program.<\/p>\n

Avfall<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Vaktm\u00e4stare\u00a0Adde Tabrizi har tillsammans med\u00a0sina vaktm\u00e4star-kollegor fr\u00e5n Servicecenter, skolans verksamhetscontrollers och andra nyckelpersoner sett \u00f6ver skolans k\u00e4llsortering och introducerar separat matavfall allteftersom p\u00e5 skolans institutioner. Tillsammans med ABE-skolan leder ITM arbetet med att sortera ut matavfall p\u00e5 KTH.<\/p>\n

Under \u00e5ret har vi \u00e4ven sett \u00f6ver hanteringen av elektronikavfall och vi kommer fram\u00f6ver ha b\u00e4ttre m\u00f6jligheter att \u00e5teranv\u00e4nda och ta hand om elektronik.<\/p>\n

Intern milj\u00f6revision<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Den 2:a november ska interna milj\u00f6revisorer granska v\u00e5rt milj\u00f6ledningsarbete. Du kan vara en av dem som bjuds in att delta, i s\u00e5 fall \u00e5terkommer vi med en inbjudan.<\/p>\n

Vi h\u00f6rs igen!<\/p>\n

Initiatives to be proud of<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Charlotte Flodin and Anna Berglund<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The autumn brings many uncertainties in terms of travels and physical meetings. But one thing is certain \u2013 the ITM School’s sustainability work continues as usual. We, Anna Berglund, ITM’s sustainability strategist from GVS, and Charlotte Flodin, ITM’s environmental representative, got the opportunity to update you.<\/p>\n

For instance, did you know that all of us, both employees and students, can influence KTH’s new sustainability objectives, i.e. those that will apply from next year and four years onward? On September 3, KTH Sustainability Office invites to a workshop where everyone at KTH is welcome to participate in the work of developing the new sustainability objectives.<\/p>\n

Read more about the workshop and sign up here<\/a><\/p>\n

However, the recent efforts at ITM to improve the environment and climate should not be forgotten. Here are some initiatives:<\/p>\n

Digitization and travel-free meetings<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The unit of Digital Learning at ITM led the digital transition during the special spring that was marked by covid-19. In just a few weeks, they succeeded in introducing KTH’s teachers to the digital education format. The digital transition also gives a large part of the staff a greater flexibility to be able to refrain from traveling, which is not only good from an infection perspective but gives several positive effects regarding work environment and reduced climate impact.<\/p>\n

Research<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sweden has been exporting iron and steel since the Middle Ages, and now we face a minor environmental revolution: Climate-improved production! SSAB’s steel production accounts for about 10% of Sweden’s total carbon dioxide emissions. SSAB, Vattenfall and LKAB saw the need to reduce the climate impact of steel production and started the HYBRIT initiative, with the aim of developing the world’s first fossil-free steel manufacturing process. In HYBRIT’s research program, Johan Martinsson, a researcher at the Department of Materials Science, and three of his colleagues investigate how hydrogen gas can be used in steel production to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Read more about this exciting initiative on the ITM website “KTH in steel revolution<\/a>” and on the HYBRIT website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Studies<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Anna Jerbrant and Andreas Alm Arvidsson have, together with course coordinators, gone through ITM’s course catalog and reviewed all courses that were tagged with an environmental and sustainability focus. Before the inventory, 70 courses were tagged, and now we have 214 tagged courses. As an effect of the inventory we are planning continuing education opportunities for ITM’s teachers, so that we can become even better at including sustainability in our courses and programmes.<\/p>\n

Waste<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Caretaker Adde Tabrizi, together with colleagues from Service Center, operations controllers and other key people, has reviewed the school’s source sorting and keep introducing separate food waste at the school’s departments. Together with the ABE School, ITM leads the work of sorting out food waste at KTH.<\/p>\n

During the year, we also reviewed our electronic waste handling, and in the future, there will be better opportunities to reuse and take care of electronics.<\/p>\n

Internal environmental audit<\/strong><\/h3>\n

On November 2, internal environmental auditors will review our environmental management work. You can be one of those invited to participate, in which case we will return with an invitation.<\/p>\n

We’ll talk later!<\/p>\n
