Overview

What this programme is for

Circular economy is the most used and least examined term in this sector. Applied seriously it changes procurement, product design and business models. Applied loosely it is a recycling programme with a new name on the slide.

This programme is about the difference. It covers material flow analysis, the design decisions that determine whether something can circulate at all, reverse logistics, and the business models that make circularity pay rather than cost.

What it covers

Linear to circular: what actually has to change, and what does not
Material flow analysis and measuring circularity credibly
Design for disassembly, repair and recyclability
Reverse logistics and take-back system design
Business models: product-as-a-service, remanufacturing, secondary materials
Recognising circular claims that do not survive scrutiny

The full syllabus is shared on enquiry

Detailed module structures, session plans and assessment criteria are our own design, so we don’t publish them. Get in touch and we’ll send the complete syllabus along with sample case material.

What you’ll be able to do

Map material flows through an organisation and find where value is lost
Assess a product or package for genuine circularity at design stage
Design a take-back system with economics that hold
Challenge a circularity claim — including your own organisation's
