Circular waste management allows us to work towards environmental sustainability. Don't think twice and join the fight against pollution"

The generation of waste generated by human activity is still pending a solution so as not to jeopardize the capacity of future generations. This is why there is a European Waste Policy. Inadequate waste management produces significant impacts on the receiving environments, generating adverse effects on water, soil and air, contributing to climate change, affecting ecosystems and of course human health.

This course provides the student with a solid knowledge of urban waste management, its sources and degree of production, the importance of minimization and the effects on the environment. Aspects related to landfill management and its significant environmental, social, visual and land degeneration impacts are included.

In addition, the circular economy is proposed as a formula for the correct management of waste with the main objective of promoting sustainability, both environmentally and economically. Therefore, it is proposed to reuse as many products as possible using as little energy as possible. 

Specifically, this Postgraduate diploma will present the principles and characteristics of the circular economy, its advantages and its strategic vision. In this way, students are introduced to the efficient and sustainable use of water both at source (rainwater and graywater) and at destination (irrigation water or process water). Students will learn about the key factors in determining the revaluation of waste and/or sub-processes, including examples of entrepreneurship in this particular sector.

On the other hand, in order to understand the waste management and water engineering framework, it is essential to know the legal requirements on which it is based. The regulations concerning these environmental aspects are continually updated to adapt to changes in production and consumption.

It should be noted that since this is a 100% online Postgraduate diploma, the student is not conditioned by fixed schedules or the need to move to another physical location, but can access the contents at any time of the day, balancing their work or personal life with their academic life.
