Cel przedmiotu:
This course will provide undergraduate students with knowledge in concepts of circular economy CE in the context of the current state of waste and material management systems as well as technological, economic and legal limitations. The implementation of the course content will ensure the understanding of terms such as life cycle, energy flows, "no-waste / less waste" and industrial ecology. Case studies will allow students to learn about the possibility of applying the CE concept in the processing technology of commonly used materials, such as metals, rubber, plastics or the so-called everyday objects clothes, electronic devices, shoes. CE financing and operating models will also be explored in a broader perspective, exploring how global supply chains can scale to more quickly deploy and adapt to circular economies.
