The School of Circular Economy is a transformative learning hub dedicated to rethinking waste, redesigning systems, and regenerating our planet. We empower students, professionals, and innovators to master circular principles—from sustainable product design and closed-loop supply chains to policy advocacy and regenerative business models.

Through hands-on projects, expert-led courses, and global partnerships, we turn theory into action, shaping leaders who will drive the transition from a linear "take-make-waste" economy to a circular, waste-free future.

Join the revolution—where nothing is wasted, and everything is transformed.
