Principles of circular economy – 30 ac. hrs.

This course introduces the topics of the circular economy (CE) describing its principles that explain, define and express the vision and approach of CE and how it differs from the current businesses and business models.

This is done by comparing, contrasting and distinguishing CE from other conventional analytical or conceptual business systems. The course will present the application of CE through the local and international case studies and analyse how the observed progress has been achieved.

The topics will be learned from several perspectives, including technology, materials, policy, problem, practice and theory related to the development of the circular economy, and later linked to the challenges of the climate crisis.
