Content
The lecture provides the basics and framework conditions of circular economy. It is based on the two functions of the circular economy: on the one hand the return of materials to the economic cycle, on the other hand the environmentally compatible disposal of (pollutant-containing) waste. Topics in the lecture are: Development and content of the German Kreislaufwirtschaftsgesetz, economic framework conditions and stakeholders of the Circular Economy, definition of waste and resources, waste hierarchy, waste prevention and consumption behaviour, anthropogenic stock, types of waste (municipal waste, construction waste, specific waste such as electronic waste, end-of-life vehicles, etc.), waste collection and acquisition systems, overview of treatment and recycling technologies for different types of waste, creation of waste balances and waste management concepts.
In the accompanying seminar, the composition and properties of different waste fractions are investigated by sorting analyses and simple laboratory analytical methods. Material flow analyses are used to balance subsystems of the circular economy and to investigate waste management measures as part of a general material flow management as well as in the context of waste prevention. The application of simple approaches for ecological and economic evaluation is taught. In group exercises the students analyse case studies from waste management practice.
