This toolkit provides ICT organizations with a checklist of sustainability requirements; guiding them in efforts to improve their eco-efficiency, and ensuring fair and transparent sustainability reporting. The toolkit deals with the following aspects of environmental sustainability in ICT organizations: sustainable buildings, sustainable ICT, sustainable products and services, end of life management for ICT equipment, general specifications and an assessment framework for environmental impacts of the ICT sector. The authors would like to thank Jyoti Banerjee (Fronesys) and Cristina Bueti (ITU) who gave up their time to coordinate all comments received and edit the toolkit. Special thanks are due to the contributory organizations of the Toolkit on Environmental Sustainability for the ICT Sector for their helpful review of a prior draft.

  • Engineering Design Process of Face Masks Based on Circularity and Life Cycle Assessment in the Constraint of the COVID-19 Pandemic
    sustainability Article Engineering Design Process of Face Masks Based on Circularity and Life Cycle Assessment in the Constraint of the COVID-19 Pandemic Núria Boix Rodríguez 1,* , Giovanni Formentini 1 , Claudio Favi 1 and Marco Marconi 2 1 Department of Engineering and Architecture, University of Parma, 43124 Parma, Italy; [email protected] (G.F.); [email protected] (C.F.) 2 Department of Economics, Engineering, Society and Business Organization, Università degli Studi della Tuscia, 01100 Viterbo, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-0521-90-6344 Abstract: Face masks are currently considered key equipment to protect people against the COVID-19 pandemic. The demand for such devices is considerable, as is the amount of plastic waste generated after their use (approximately 1.6 million tons/day since the outbreak). Even if the sanitary emergency must have the maximum priority, environmental concerns require investigation to find possible mitigation solutions. The aim of this work is to develop an eco-design actions guide that supports the design of dedicated masks, in a manner to reduce the negative impacts of these devices on the environment during the pandemic period. Toward this aim, an environmental assessment based on life cycle assessment and circularity assessment (material circularity indicator) of different types of masks have been carried out on (i) a 3D-printed mask with changeable filters, (ii) a surgical Citation: Boix Rodríguez, N.; mask, (iii) an FFP2 mask with valve, (iv) an FFP2 mask without valve, and (v) a washable mask. Formentini, G.; Favi, C.; Marconi, M. Results highlight how reusable masks (i.e., 3D-printed masks and washable masks) are the most Engineering Design Process of Face sustainable from a life cycle perspective, drastically reducing the environmental impacts in all Masks Based on Circularity and Life categories.
