Course Description

In this course we will analyze the product life cycle starting from raw materials, manufacturing and the products we use every day. We will study how to use materials in more efficient way, so that materials can have longer life cycle and how they are able to re-enter the production cycle instead of disposal at the end of their useful life. The objective is to develop methods to achieve the circular economy that is the result of decisions and strategies, where suppliers, designers, companies, policy makers and all consumers adopt a new paradigm for production and consumption. We will review some study cases to achieve sustainability, the course also teaches skills and tools to analyze circular business models and promotes the development of your own ideas to become more involved in the transition to a circular economy.
