An Introduction to Circular Economy prepares students to assess, advance, and report on the risks and opportunities of circular strategies that valorize wasted resources in ways that benefit the economy and the natural environment.

Learning Objectives

After working through this digital learning experience, participants will be able to:

Describe types and amounts of organic and technical resources currently wasted by businesses in diverse industries.
Identify the social and ecological impacts created by wasting such resources.
Explain the idiosyncratic and systematic drivers of organic and technical waste within and across industries—from the agri-food sector to the electronics and built environment sectors. Understanding these drivers will help participants grasp the underlying causes of resource inefficiency and ineffectiveness in these sectors.
Outline important design principles that are integral to embedding circularity in business.
Describe the key differences between forward and reverse processes.
Outline the role of consumers in affecting how businesses embed circularity into their corporate strategies and underlying operational systems.
Analyze the economic implications of circularity under adverse market conditions.
