The Circular Economy and Use of Recycled Materials in Infrastructure Assets Online Learning Program
The Institute of Public Works Administration Australasia (IPWEA) has developed the Circular Economy and Use of Recycled Materials in Infrastructure Assets online course, an interactive, content- and activity-rich course, enabling participants to earn the IPWEA Circular Economy and Use of Recycled Materials in Infrastructure Assets Digital Badge.
In this course you will learn how the circular economy extends to infrastructure, existing and emerging policies and processes that enable the circular economy and sustainable strategies you can adopt.
Each module is rich in content, supported by case studies and additional resources. Participants will undertake an Action Learning Project that builds throughout the course resulting in a Business Case Plan for the use of recycled materials within their organisational or community context.
This course has been designed to complement the IPWEA Practice Note for the Circular Economy and Use of Recycled Materials in Infrastructure Assets.
