Objective
Purpose of the course
The circular economy aims to extend the life of the material and develop new business models for it. During this course you will learn to observe and design flows of biological and technical materials and identify alternative uses for them. After completing this course, you will understand the benefits of circularity in terms of climate change, depletion of natural resources, and material flow management.
Competences:
This course promotes and evaluates: circular economy, transportation, knowledge and understanding (applicable materials, equipment, tools, technologies and processes, and their limitations in their area of specialization)
Learning outcomes:
During this course you will learn to understand the boundary conditions governing the circular economy and the business economy. You will learn to recognize the requirements of the food industry and primary transportation. You identify material flows in the circular economy and are prepared to develop alternatives to them in accordance with the circular economy principles.
