Aim of the course is the dissemination and increase of knowledge of the circular economy through the critical analysis of all the different aspects connected.The main objective of the Circular Economy is to achieve a non-dissipative economic system that is able to keep itself in balance and minimize, if you do not eliminate it altogether, any type of waste ; everything, from clothing to household items to food and tools, have a purpose and an after-life-purpose, so that “traditional waste” can be something useful to others or in another form. Thus a new way of thinking and acting is required and thet all stakeholders join forces and actively implement the sustainability principle in their own field of competence. In this perspective, during the course, some of the most important aspects such as sustainable production and consumption will be addressed, through new production models and new product design methods, the main tools for managing environmental management systems; a particular focus will be implemented on waste management through the analysis of the virtuous circuit "reduction, reuse, recovery and recycling" and the best technological and regulatory tools. Particular attention will also be paid to the social and ethical aspects involved.
