The Circular Economy And You

ADVANCING SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS

Individuals have their part to play in the transition towards a circular economy. In this episode, we will introduce the circular economy and strategies to facilitate a transition from our linear to a more circular economy.

Furthermore, we visit a repair cafe and illustrate how you can extend product lifetimes.

The episode is produced in connection to a new Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), called ‘Circular Economy: Sustainable Materials Management’, produced by the IIIEE together with European partners available on Coursera.
