Circular Economy Seminar

Catalog description

This seminar, open to students across the university, introduces circular economy principles and frameworks through a series of faculty and practitioner-led talks and activities. It features discussions about specific initiatives to keep materials - from organics to plastics, construction materials, textiles and more - in use. It also features sessions on efforts to bring about, manage, and govern circular economies, from the re-design of materials to efforts to help people repair and re-use the things they own. We will examine a city at the forefront of circularity initiatives, and prospects for a future in which products are engineered with living materials.
