Sostenipra
Sostenibilitat i Protecció Ambiental

Sostenipra is a research group in the field of Industrial Ecology dedicated to applying methods such as life cycle analysis and eco-efficiency in a systemic way at a process, urban or regional scale. We lead projects in the sustainable management of resources and in the water-energy-food nexus at city scale. We are a consolidated group recognized by the Generalitat (2021 SGR 00734), made up of professors, researchers in training and postdoctoral fellows, and the companies Inèdit and Tectum Garden.
