Course Overview

Current take-make-waste business models can result in broken supply chains, resource scarcity, and input-price volatility. Such business models urgently need a rethink and redesign. In this course, you will be introduced to the circular business model and the fundamentals of system design within a business ecosystem. You will learn how to identify and evaluate socio-economic systems, helping you to translate business choices into positive and negative impacts. Successful completion of this course will allow you to design resilient, profitable, sustainable, and regenerative business models with positive impacts using circular economy principles.
