Circular Economy: Managing Materials Sustainably

Education facts

Code: SASI07

<p>How can we create a circular economy through sustainable materials management?</p><p>The Circular Economy - Managing Materials Sustainably (SASI07) is an online course focusing on Circular Economy (CE); what CE is and how its emergence can be facilitated as the result of choices and strategies by suppliers, designers, businesses, policymakers, and all of us as consumers.</p><p>The course delivers knowledge of where important materials in products we use every day are sourced from, and how these materials can be used more efficiently, for longer periods of time, and in closed loops - these being key areas of work encompassed by the concept of the CE. However, adoption of the CE does not happen on its own and requires the support of social, business, and policy interventions. </p><p>The course provides numerous cases of management of materials for sustainability, skill building exercises, and tools for analysing circular business models. Coursework also promotes the development of students ideas on how to facilitate the transition to a Circular Economy.</p>
