Eight industry leaders partner with WULCA experts to develop a consensual method to assess water use in life cycle assessment

Eight industry leaders partner with WULCA experts to develop a consensual method to assess water use in life cycle assessment

April 28, 2014

Water use and freshwater depletion are key global issues. The United Nations Water Programme reports that water scarcity already affects almost every continent and over 40 percent of the people on Earth. Clear and consensual methods to quantify water footprints are needed to meet this global challenge. WULCA experts and eight industry leaders have therefore joined forces to develop a consistent approach to address the potential environmental impacts of water use throughout the life cycle of products and processes, taking into account resource extraction, processing, manufacturing, transportation, use and final disposal or treatment.

A study carried out at Polytechnique Montréal reveals that some metallic toys and low-cost jewelry sold in North America present health risks for young children

March 5, 2014

Revolution in orthopedic surgery at CHU Sainte-Justine and Polytechnique Montréal: Patients will regain a normal spinal column thanks to the Chair in Spinal Biomechanics, which has been renewed to pave the way for the future of surgery

March 26, 2013

Caroline Villeneuve and Jordan Lemay are among the 2% to 3% of young Quebecers who have idiopathic scoliosis, a three-dimensional deformity of the spine that predominantly affects young girls, although the reason why is still not clearly understood. With the renewal of the NSERC/Medtronic Industrial Research Chair in Spine Biomechanics, whose Chairholder is Professor Carl-Éric Aubin of Polytechnique Montréal and Sainte-Justine University Hospital Centre, children and adults with spinal problems, like Caroline and Jordan, will benefit someday from the “surgery of the future” that researchers are currently working on.
