This course looks at where the important materials in the products we use every day come from and how these materials can be used more efficiently, longer, and in closed cycles.
This is the goal of the Circular Economy, but it does not happen on its own.
It is the result of choices and strategies of suppliers, designers, companies, legislators and all of us as consumers.
In addition to providing many cases of materials management for sustainability, the course also teaches skills and tools to analyze circular business models and promotes the development of your own ideas to become more involved in the transition to a Circular Economy.
You will learn from expert researchers and practitioners from across Europe as they explain the core elements and challenges in transitioning to a circular economy over the course of 5 modules: Module 1: Materials.
This module explores where materials come from and builds a rationale for why society needs more circularity.
Module 2: Circular Business Models.
In this module, circular business models are explored in depth, looking at a variety of ways that companies can create economic and social value.
Module 3: Circular Design, Innovation and Evaluation.
This module introduces topics such as functional materials and eco-design, as well as methods for assessing environmental impacts.
Module 4: Policies and Networks.
This module explores the role of governments and networks and how policies and best practice sharing can enable the circular economy.
Module 5: Circular Societies.
This module examines new norms, forms of engagement, social systems and institutions that the circular economy needs and how we, as individuals, can help make society more circular.
