NZ's space industry faces increasing environmental concerns

While the country's aerospace industry is growing rapidly, the University of Auckland study has warned that there is an urgent need to address sustainability issues. The study name is -  Sustainability within Aotearoa New Zealand’s aerospace sector: current state and implications for the future.

Dr Priyanka Dhopade from the Faculty of Engineering has led the research and said, “The industry’s focus on rapid growth often overshadows the essential need for sustainability, even though adopting sustainable practices could provide significant long-term economic benefits for the country.”

“New Zealand has a real opportunity to be a global leader in space sustainability. However, we’re currently using technology to solve issues like space debris and climate change, without fully considering the broader effects of our increased space activity on the environment,” says Dhopade.

“The first step is to develop and integrate sustainability as a core skill. Other sectors, such as mining, plastics and energy, have long embraced practices like greenhouse gas emissions accounting, lifecycle assessments and supply chain monitoring, while incorporating environmental engineering expertise into their operations. Unfortunately, such integrated approaches are still lacking in the aerospace sector," added Dhopade.
