Content
In the Circular Economy Business Course (5 ECTS), students learn that circular economy is a new model for the economy in which materials are recycled and value-added is created for products through services and ingenuity. The circular economy responds to the largest global challenges such as climate change, depletion of natural resources, and loss of diversity. Achieving circular economy objectives requires, however, new kinds of thinking and operating models, diverse expertise and a reorientation of business activities. In particular, different kinds of professionals are needed who can solve the difficult problems related to circular economy implementation.
