Digitainability WS2021/2022 at HfP - on 10.02.2022: Local Waste Management

Do you have to wash out glass before putting them into the glass container? Why is there a deposit on beer bottles but not on wine bottles? Is recycled plastic reused and how is it reused? What is done differently in Munich compared to other German cities when it comes to waste disposal? Frederic Weihberg (Abfallwirtschaft München, AWM) takes us on a journey through commonly believed “waste and recycling myths”. We are pretty sure that everybody can learn something either about their own behavior of waste disposal, recycling, organization of local waste management and much more!

The issues of sustainability and digitization are among the central challenges of our time. Both transformations need to be actively designed, whereby sustainability and digitization do not have to be considered side by side, but rather together in the sense of "digitainability". The concept "digitainability" as a fusion of the terms "digitization" and "sustainability" emphasizes the possible positive reinforcement effects of digitization and sustainability, which have so far been often neglected. It describes the ability to combine positive aspects of digitization and sustainable development and thus advance both digitization and sustainable development. At the same time, however, the central challenges and possible negative effects with regard to ecological, economic and social issues must also be kept in mind. Universities like TUM play a central role in the design of digital and sustainable transformation processes as learning locations for education for sustainable / digital development, as incubators for innovations in the field of sustainability and digitization, and as role models for local economic, social, ecological and technological developments . Over two semesters, we will discuss the two megatrends sustainability and digitization and uncover potential for action for TUM, the city of Munich and beyond.
