Natural resources engineer · What it does

Three tasks it takes off your hands

  1. Identify environmental impacts caused by products, systems, or projects.
  2. Conduct environmental sustainability assessments using material flow analysis techniques.
  3. Redesign linear systems into cyclical systems so waste becomes input.
Where these come from

The tasks of “Industrial Ecologists” (O*NET 19-2041.03), as O*NET lists them:

  • Identify environmental impacts caused by products, systems, or projects.
  • Conduct environmental sustainability assessments, using material flow analysis (MFA) or substance flow analysis (SFA) techniques.
  • Redesign linear, or open-loop, systems into cyclical, or closed-loop, systems so that waste products become inputs for new processes, modeling natural ecosystems.
