Circular Economy & Sustainable Product Design

Traditional production models often depend on extracting resources, manufacturing products, and discarding materials after limited use. This linear approach increases waste, resource scarcity, environmental degradation, supply chain exposure, and operating costs. Circular economy principles offer organizations an alternative model that keeps products, components, and materials in use longer. Sustainable product design plays a central role by preventing waste and environmental impacts before they occur. This course introduces practical tools for designing products that are durable, adaptable, repairable, reusable, recoverable, and resource efficient. Participants explore the complete product lifecycle from material selection and manufacturing to distribution, use, recovery, and regeneration. They also examine circular business models that support leasing, sharing, maintenance, refurbishment, remanufacturing, and product recovery. The program combines expert instruction, case studies, design exercises, lifecycle analysis, group discussions, and implementation planning. It enables professionals to create innovative solutions that strengthen sustainability, business performance, and long-term competitive advantage.

Participants will achieve the following objectives by this course:
