Vsebina:
Content (Syllabus outline):

Zakaj krožno gospodarstvo?
- Uveljavitev trajnostnega razvoja v praksi,
- razklopitev rasti od naravnih virov.

Podlage:
- cilji trajnostnega razvoja,
- modro in delitveno gospodarstvo,
- 4. industrijska revolucija,
- pravno okolje EU.

Ravnanje z naravnimi viri:
- meje rasti,
- kritični materiali,
- koncepti krožnega gospodarstva,
- verige vrednosti,
- zakonodajno okolje EU,
- cilji zmanjševanja odpadkov,
- hierarhija ravnanja z odpadki,
- gospodinjski odpadki,
- elektronski in električni odpad,
- analiza življenjskega cikla,
- odpadki v industriji.

Učinkovitost rabe virov:
- zmanjšanje, recikliranje, ponovna uporaba,
- ohranitev, podaljšanje, delitev,
- spodbujanje učinkovitosti sistema z odkrivanjem in preoblikovanjem negativnih zunanjih učinkov,
- tehnološke priložnosti: IKT, bločne verige,
- konvergenca IKT, nano-, eko- in bio-tehnologij.

Nove razvojne paradigme:
- trajnostna družba znanja,
- družba 5.0.

Why circular economy?
- Practical implementation of sustainable development,
- Decoupling growth from natural resources.

Foundations:
- Sustainable Development Goals (SDG),
- Blue and sharing economy,
- 4th industrial revolution,
- EU regulatory environment.

Natural resource management:
- Limits to growth,
- Critical materials,
- Concepts of circular economy,
- Value chains,
- EU regulatory environment,
- Waste targets and hierarchy,
- Municipal waste,
- Electronic and electrical waste,
- Life Cycle Assesment,
- Industrial waste.

Resource efficiency:
- Reduce, recycle, reuse,
- Maintain, prolong, share,
- Foster system effectiveness by revealing and redesigning negative externalities,
- Technological opportunities: ICT, blockchain,
- Convergence of ICT, nano, eco and biotechnologies.

New developmental paragidms:
- Sustainable knowledge society,
- Society 5.0.
