The recycling of plastic materials is an important and growing sector within the circular economy. This online, 40-hour course on Mechanical Recycling of Plastic Materials is open all year.

The Joint Curriculum for a Vocational Education Training course is based on an analysis of industrial needs and establishes a learning pathway for a good understanding of what the twin digital and green transition means for manufacturing companies and how to implement it.

KU Leuven is starting two new interdisciplinary postgraduate programmes on the circular economy for professionals, where students learn from both academic and industrial experts. The two programmes will be held in parallel and partly together and will start in October 2023. Courses are on site each Thursday (13:30-20:30) in either Kortrijk (2023-2024) or Leuven (2024-2025).

Closing the green skills gap is crucial to enabling a circular economy. Circularity Academy is a gamified e-learning platform that boosts mass adoption of these skills.

The second Train the Trainers course will be online, covering new skills for circular design and construction in three consecutive sessions on 6, 13 and 20 June 2023 from 14:00 to 16:30 (CEST).

Register before 15 May and become a member of the “BUS-GoCircular learning community” made up of leading training organisations across Europe focusing on new skills for circular construction!

The EU International Partnerships Academy (INTPA) is the European Commission’s free and public learning platform for development.

It offers an e-course and an introductory webinar to the circular economy that aim to strengthen your understanding of circularity, policy measures that accelerate the circular transition, and the opportunities arising for EU partner countries from the circular economy

The training material by the EU-funded BUS-GoCircular project aims to help public procurement agents and policymakers understand how they can stimulate demand for circular construction skills through public procurement. There is a slide deck that can be used as a self-learning tool and also an action plan for policymakers to stimulate demand for circular construction skills.

TRANSFORM-CE, an Interreg North-West Europe funded project promoting the circular economy in Europe, is pleased to offer educational programmes for primary and secondary schools to learn about the collection, treatment and recycling of plastic waste. Through these educational programmes schools get teaching materials about plastic recycling.

RTSD introduces primary and secondary education teachers and students (from kindergarten to the 12th grade) to the 7 R’s of sustainable development (Reduce, Repair, Reuse, Reflect, Recycle, Reject and Respect). It invites them to express themselves artistically, while learning to design their own biomaterials using food waste and craft and digital fabrication techniques.
