Waste Not: New Perspectives on Reducing, Reusing, and Recycling

Catalog description

ENVS 193CE will evaluate the emerging concept of circular systems within the capitalist economy to eliminate the concept of waste and promote more sustainable consumption. Course will examine the theory of a circular economy, the ways in which products and materials could be designed to eliminate waste across the life of products and materials, the systems that could facilitate repair, remanufacture, recovery and recycling and potentially make circular systems possible, and practical applications.
