Sustainability in Linköping: A Student Perspective


Listen Later

Sustainability is more than just a buzzword—it’s part of daily life in Sweden. But how do students at Linköping University experience sustainability? What challenges do they face, and how does LiU support them in making greener choices?

In this episode, we sit down with Jai Krishnan Murali, a Master’s student in Sustainability Engineering and Management, to explore how sustainability is embedded in student life. From biogas-powered buses and district heating to second-hand culture and industry collaborations, we discuss how Linköping makes sustainable living both accessible and practical.

Jai also shares his personal journey from India to Sweden, his thoughts on the biggest sustainability challenges for international students, and how small changes—like learning Sweden’s waste sorting system or choosing second-hand furniture—can make a big impact. We also highlight some exciting trends in Sweden’s sustainability landscape, including AI-powered waste sorting and hydrogen-fueled public transport.

Whether you're a student looking to get involved in sustainability or just curious about how Sweden is leading the way, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tips.
