About Course
Based upon the three pillars of sustainability and circular economy (ecology, society and economy) and addressing the European strategy to manage waste production, that is the 4R hierarchy (Reduce production and hazard, Reuse, Recovery materials, Recovery energy), the Course is supported by a vision: starting from the waste management, policy makers, people and entrepreneurs shall conceive new supportive ways of living on our planet, and that personal awareness and respect can be combined with a technical and industrial approach, able to generate good and sustainable work, at every level of intervention.
