The ABTOMAT project has been successfully completed after several years of international collaboration.

The ABTOMAT project – Utilization of Aluminium Bearing Raw Materials for the Production of Aluminium Metal, Other Metals and Compounds has been successfully completed after several years of international collaboration.
Coordinated by the Department of Sustainability and Product Ecology at UCT Prague, the project focused on alternative primary and secondary aluminium-bearing raw materials, reducing dependence on bauxite and recovering valuable materials from industrial residues and metallurgical by-products.
ABTOMAT brought together academic and industrial partners across Europe, linking expertise in raw materials, circular economy, environmental assessment and industrial applications.
We thank all partners and colleagues for the successful collaboration!

  • Sustainable development
  • Circular economy
  • Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
  • Raw material security
 

Department of Sustainability and Product Ecology

Sustainability, the circular economy, and the responsible use of resources are among the key themes of contemporary society.

The institute's goal is to develop education and research in the fields of sustainability, product ecology, ecodesign, and raw material security, and to contribute to the implementation of sustainability principles in both industry and public practice.

The study program is focused on understanding the relationships between industry, the environment, and society. Graduates acquire the technical, environmental, and socio-economic knowledge necessary to manage technologies and organizations in a way that minimizes their environmental impact.

The research and professional activities of the institute focus primarily on analyzing the environmental impacts of products, services, and technologies. Analytical tools such as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) or Material Flow Analysis (MFA) are utilized, enabling the evaluation of the environmental impacts of products, organizations, and technological processes.
