About this course
Circular Economy and Waste Management gives delegates a structured, practical understanding of circular economy principles and waste hierarchy and waste management, then builds the skills to apply product design for circularity, industrial symbiosis and recycling and circular business models in real work. ESG, sustainability and net zero courses for the reporting, carbon accounting and decarbonisation skills that regulators and investors now require. Demand for these skills is expected to rise strongly by 2028.
Sessions are led by practitioners with at least 15 years in the field, and mix short input with exercises, case studies and group work, so delegates return with methods they can use straight away.
Who should attend
Sustainability, HSE, finance, strategy and reporting professionals, and managers responsible for ESG and climate targets. No specialist prerequisites are required for the Practitioner level; Foundation, Advanced and Executive versions are available on request.
