Course details

What are the course deliverables?

Master the concept and vision of the circular economy and understand how business can create value by applying its principles
Understand how value creation (product design) and value recovery (recycling) are interconnected, and recognize how different recycling technologies work and what their implications are for product design
Understand the implications of future developments in design for recycling
Optimize the recyclability of electrical and electronic products
Apply recycled plastics in new electronic products and reduce risks and uncertainties when designing with recycled plastics

More about this course

This two-course program supports designers, engineers and decision makers in the Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) industry in making the transition towards a circular economy by exploring both Design for Recycling and Designing with Recycled plastics
In the first course, you will explore the basic concepts of the circular economy and their implementation from various perspectives: how businesses can create value by reusing and recycling products; how designers can come up with amazingly clever solutions; and how to apply systems thinking to the transition to the circular economy
In the second course, you will learn how the recyclability of EEE products or consumer electronics can be optimized through good design and how to utilize recycled plastic content in existing or new products using new methods
We will examine inspiring examples and provide insight into current and future recycling technologies, legislation and business models
Participants can enroll in this program through Edx only
