Given the damage that the natural environment suffers from human activities, it
is relevant to provide ecological literacy to all Chemical Engineering students.
Sometimes, this information is offered through elective courses and/or seminars
and consequently it might not reach the whole class. Some courses have more
obvious connections to environmental issues, while others do not appear to. In
this paper, we aim to show through some solved examples how to introduce an
environmental topic in the subject Mathematical Optimization. The problems goal
is to decide on the best logistics for the transport and management of human
waste that will be used in the production of sustainable energy. The context is
that of improving the sanitation and hygiene in areas of the developing world,
while simultaneously creating job opportunities within the communities. The
research that we have conducted for finding the proper way to address the
environmental analysis in class, led us first to the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs), but later on, other theories such as the Cradle-to-Cradle (C2C)
have proven to be more comprehensive and therefore, better. We believe that this
multidisciplinary paper shows how to integrate environmental concerns and
understanding in the Chemical Engineering curricula.
