Description

This module will introduce the concept of the Circular Economy which aims to keep resources in the environment at their highest utility and particularly focusses on applications in the Built Environment. Construction and demolition waste is one of the largest sources of waste on the planet, this module starts with the hypothesis that better design of materials and components used in the built environment can reduce this waste stream, and keep valuable resources in their most useful state for as long as possible. The module will explore all aspects of this concept including business model analysis and development. Students will be expected to choose a component used in the built environment and use business model analysis and creative design ideas to suggest improvements to both the component and to make the business case for it.
