Content
On the Basics of the sustainable circular economy course, students learn that circular economy is the new economic model, where materials are recycled and products gain new value through services and innovations. Circular economy responds to the main challenges globally, such as climate change, depletion of natural resources, and loss of biodiversity. New ways of thinking and operating, diverse know-how, and new models for business operations are needed to achieve the goals of circular economy. Especially we need different kinds of professionals that can help solve the difficult problems of circular economy.
