The course focuses on waste minimisation, detoxification, resource recovery, and the transformation of waste into valuable raw materials within circular bioeconomy systems.
Students gain insight into real-world applications of environmental biotechnology, the role of policy and regulation, and the links between technology, sustainability, and environmental protection. The course equips students with practical and analytical skills needed to address today’s environmental challenges through innovative, bio-based solutions.
