Recycling and Sustainability for a Circular Economy

Catalog description

Description: An experiential graduate level course about sustainable materials development for recycling materials such as composites, carpet, construction and demolition waste, tires, E-waste, precious platinum group metals from catalytic converters, and polymers such as PET, LDPE, HDPE, and PP. This fits with OSU's efforts in recycling carpet and PET based materials. The students will understand how to conduct LCA and cradle to cradle assessment of the products being recycled.
