Module 6 - Circular Economy

This module explores solutions for implementing a circular economy at both urban and building scales, focusing on building materials and strategies for reusing, recycling, and minimizing waste in the construction sector. It supports key Sustainable Development Goals: SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and SDG 13 (Climate Action).

Topics covered include:

• Circularity principles in the building industry
  
• Urban mining and resource recovery
  
• Recycling and waste management of building materials
  

Through theoretical insights and practical applications, participants learn to integrate circular economy practices into sustainable urban development and construction projects.
