Advanced Waste Management Aspects in a Circular Economy

1. International Regulations, Treaties and Goals (SDG) in Circular Economy

Introduction

Modern economic realities require a fundamentally new approach to implementing economic activity.
Many countries have a linear economic model based on the 'take, do, dispose' principle. 
A new development paradigm, based on the concept of a green economy, is gaining popularity. 
Most experts believe that a closed-loop (or closed-cycle, cyclical, circular) economy is a way to find harmony between the economy and the environment. 
The economic effect of introducing the concept of a circular economy is expressed in the reduction of the consumption of raw materials and energy resources and, consequently, in the reduction of their demand and price volatility in resource markets.

Specifically, the topics covered are:
  • Global issues - Circular economy
  • What is the Circular Economy?
  • Circular Economy
  • Circular Economy / Objectives and Key Actions
  • Circular Economy / Priorities
  • Circular economy / Product life cycle 
  • Circular Economy / Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
  • Circular economy / LCA methodology
  • International regulations and treaties

Lecture time: 4 hours
Type of course: Theoretical

2. Logistics (concept, strategies, business models, operating and costs) Introduction

Introduction

Logistics management is that part of supply chain management that plans, implements and controls the efficient and effective forward and reverse flow and storage of goods, services and related information between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet customer needs. When the logistics process is added to purchasing, procurement, capacity planning and supply planning, we speak of a supply chain process.

In this module dealing with Logistics (concept, strategies, business models, operation and costs) the following topics are covered:
  • Introduction - Supply chain
  • Waste management logistics
  • Green supply chain management
  • Circular economy and supply chain
  • Reverse Logistics
  • Reverse Logistics - Benefits
  • Waste Management - Logistics Stages
  • MSWM Circular Economy Strategies
  • MSWM Improvements in Supply Waste

Lecture time: 8 hours
Type of course: Practical
