Description
This course looks at where important materials in products we use every day come from and how these materials can be used more efficiently, longer, and in closed loops. This is the aim of the Circular Economy, but it doesn't happen on its own. It is the result of choices and strategies by suppliers, designers, businesses, policymakers, and all of us as consumers. In addition to providing many cases of managing materials for sustainability, the course also teaches skills and tools for analyzing circular business models and promotes the development of your own ideas to become more involved in the transition to a Circular Economy.You will learn from expert researchers and practitioners from around Europe as they explain core elements and challenges in the transition to a circular economy over the course of 5 modules:Module 1 - Learning ObjectivesExplain concepts related to circular economy definitions, extraction and processing of minerals, material value chains, and criticalityDescribe the need for and key processes involved in mining and how to mine more sustainablyUnderstand the complexity of governance in global value chains and the concept of criticality for materialsDiscuss the need and rationale for a circular economy transitionModule 2 - Learning ObjectivesExplain the circular economy strategies of 'closing loops', 'slowing loops' and 'narrowing loops'Identify examples of circular business model concepts and strategiesDiscuss drivers and barriers for circular business models through a PESTEL frameworkApply an analytical framework to analyze a circular business model (assignment)Module 3 - Learning ObjectivesDescribe different ecodesign strategiesGive examples of material innovationsExplain how environmental and other impacts can be assessed through methods such as life cycle assessment and resource efficiency indicatorsCritically assess the impact of circular business models (assignment)Module 4 - Learning ObjectivesDiscuss the historical approaches to material scarcity and waste policiesDescribe current and proposed EU circular policy approachesExplain the importance of networks for a Circular Economy and give examplesApply a partial PESTEL analysis to explain the influence of policies (assignment)Suggest additional strategies to further circularise business models (assignment)Module 5 - Learning ObjectivesDiscuss the benefits of a circular economy for societyExplain the concept of environmental footprint and how it can be usedCritically reflect on key issues such as conflict minerals, e-waste, and property rightsExplain how sharing and repairing contribute to a Circular EconomyDevelop your own ideas to contribute towards a Circular Economy
