Welcome to the course Circular economy in context of environmental engineering!

The circular economy is a concept within sustainable development, where economy and ecology are not in competition. However, there are over 100 different definitions of the circular economy, which makes a systematic implementation difficult. Within this course, you will learn about the benefits of the circular economy in the context of environmental engineering and how to assess the environmental impact of circular processes.

Course aim

The objective of the course is to give the student knowledge about industrial dynamics in relation to environmental engineering. This involves mechanisms that underlie industrial transformation and technological change and their implications on sustainable development.

Course content

The course addresses the circular economy concept and its challenges, barriers, and limitations in the context of environmental engineering. In addition, the course deals with how a circular economy can contribute to solving current environmental challenges related to the use and waste management of important global resources.
