Circular Economy
Course description
This course addresses the theme of Circular Economy, which consists of a new way of conceiving production and consumption systems so that economic activity contributes to the overall health of the system, that is, environmental sustainability. We will also present a synthesis of several schools of thought: cradle to cradle, biomimicry, industrial ecology, industrial capitalism, and blue economy, until we arrive at the concept and principles of the Circular Economy.
Objectives
- Understand the unsustainability of current productive systems, called linear systems, and the importance of creating circular productive systems, including the presence of public policies that promote them.
