About
Marino Alge is a researcher at the forefront of sustainable design and manufacturing, with a focus on integrating environmental assessment tools into product-service systems (PSS). His work bridges the gap between sustainability theory and practical engineering, particularly in collaborative, hands-on environments like FabLABs. His most cited paper, "Integrating a LCA tool with a design platform towards a sustainable-aware PSS design: application in a FabLAB environment" (2018, 11 citations), addresses a critical challenge: making life cycle assessment (LCA) accessible and actionable during the design phase. By developing a tool that embeds LCA into a design platform, Alge enables engineers and makers to evaluate environmental impacts in real time, fostering more sustainable innovation from the outset. This contribution is especially significant for small-scale, decentralized production settings where traditional LCA tools are often too cumbersome or disconnected from the creative process. His work has been recognized for its practical relevance, earning citations from researchers in sustainable engineering, design methodology, and circular economy. Alge’s research empowers designers to make informed, eco-conscious decisions, positioning him as a key voice in the movement toward sustainable-aware product development and manufacturing.
