About the open online course
The EU’s circular economy strategy increases the need for expertise in the use of sustainable and recycled materials. This course provides tools and knowledge to promote sustainable material choices and effective management of material flows in practice. New sustainable materials, development towards sustainability of existing materials, recycled and circularly value-enhanced materials (upcycling) contribute to the green transition through reduced energy consumption, longer lifespan, reduced costs, reduced waste volumes, better user-friendliness and opportunities for social entrepreneurship.

The course will be developed in collaboration with researchers, teachers and an Indian company with extensive experience in the field, and build on a number of international contacts, which opens up for a broader exchange of experience and more participants.
This course is an open online course and no higher education credits are awarded after completion.
