Resource Skills Training
Circular Resources Skills Training
Many people are confused about the circular economy and believe it is primarily focused on recycling. Resource management and the efficient use of resources are critical if we are to live within the limits of our planetary boundaries. These are the foundations of the circular economy.
What the course offers
Participants can discover the circular economy at their own pace. The course is easy to get through, with a variety of videos to keep you entertained and downloads to fill in any gaps. The Resource Recovery skills training course is suitable for corporations, NGOs, educational institutions and consumers. Participants form teams and create a strategy to embed a resource recovery program within their immediate environment.
Please note
Do not make the mistake this is a course about recycling, instead it takes participants beyond recycling to resource management.
Why take this course?
The use of secondary raw materials will become more common with manufacturers and brands. An economically viable secondary raw materials industry must evolve in order to complement the extractive industries (mining, forestry and drilling). In the Resource Recovery Skills Training course, participants create a strategy to improve resource management.
Manufacturers and brands can reduce their carbon footprint (subject to LCA analysis).
Less supply chain risk as raw materials are available domestically.
Limit primary raw materials usage by including more secondary raw materials
Increase the quality and quantity of securing end-of-use-cycle items through improved disposal behaviours.
Better positioned to meet biodiversity targets by curtailing primary raw material extraction.
What's the difference between recycling and resource recovery?
Recycling is an action
Resource recovery is an outcome requiring a strategy to fit an economically viable circular system
Course overview
Managing resources in a company are becoming standard practice as part of ESG reporting and reaching sustainability targets. Although many companies seek zero-waste solutions, the question is how many end-of-use-cycle items actually end up as secondary raw materials?
How the course works
Participants use nine cards to create their resource recovery strategy. Each card represents one requirement and aims to embed resource recovery as a permanent fixture into the standard operating procedures of a company.
