About the Program

Growing mountains of waste, marine litter etc. on the one hand, a shortage of raw materials and increasing dependence on raw material imports on the other, and the potential for CO2 savings through recycling on the third are the drivers of a development from waste management to recycling management to resource management. Dealing with waste, wastewater and emissions from a technical, economic, ecological and social point of view is the subject of the course, which trains generalists for the challenges of the future in this field. The program covers circular economy and resource efficiency, waste streams and recycling technologies, recycling of metals, plastics and minerals, process engineering for the treatment of waste, thermal treatment of residual and waste materials, wastewater technology and air pollution control, sustainability management, laboratory practicals, and culminates with a Master's thesis.
