Description
This Summer Course will be face to face. But it can also be followed in live online classroom format and you will be able to participate virtually from anywhere. You can access the file of the live online course by clicking on LIVE ONLINE.
In 2015, the European Commission adopted a series of comprehensive measures in pursuit of a circular economy called the Circular Economy Action Plan, which included measures that would help stimulate Europe's transition to a more sustainable economy, boost global competitiveness, foster economic growth and generate new jobs.
A concrete and ambitious action program was established in the EU Action Plan for the circular economy, with measures covering the entire economic cycle: from production and consumption to waste management and the secondary raw materials market and a revised legislative proposal on waste. The proposed actions were aimed at "closing the cycle" of product life cycles through increased recycling and reuse, providing benefits for both the environment and the economy.
The revised legislative framework on waste entered into force in July 2018, where clear objectives for waste reduction have been established, and establishes an ambitious and credible long-term path for its management and recycling. Key elements of the revised waste proposal include, among others, recycling 65% of municipal waste by 2035; recycle 70% of packaging waste by 2030; as well as objectives for specific packaging materials such as paper and cardboard: 85%, ferrous metals: 80%, plastic: 55% and wood: 30%.
Objectives
Present the advances that are being made in the field of circular economy combining different perspectives; the academic, business and public administration.
Raise awareness about other business management models and organizations aligned with the principles of sustainable development and the circular economy.
Provide tools to the participants for the introduction of the circular economy in organizational processes.
Contribute to the technical-economic knowledge for the implementation of the circular economy in companies and introduce the principles of the circular model in the activity of management and measurement, environmental accounting and sustainability reporting.
Promote a participatory dynamic on the part of the students, which allows consensus to be reached in the elaboration of a conceptual map of circular economy taking into account the different perspectives derived from the personal, training and professional characteristics of the participants.
