Advanced Master® in Circular Economy Engineering Applied to Sustainable Materials

The aim of the Advanced Master in Circular Economy Engineering Applied to Sustainable Materials is to develop the expertise of professionals faced with the emerging problems of recycling sustainable materials and eco-design, particularly in the regulated context of the anti-waste law for a circular economy. The proposed approach focuses on the industry as a whole, with a view to creating local and even national value for the sector, and responding to the skills and trades in short supply identified by France Compétences.

This Advanced Master emphasizes the positive impact of the circular economy on society, by promoting sustainable practices and the recyclability of materials.

Industrial ecology principles are integrated into the design of circular value chains and resource management.

The program integrates scientific and technical projects to enable the testing of proposed solutions.

This program is included in the Masters Prix de l’Innovation Eduniversal 2024 ranking.

Skills

  • Secure sources of recycled raw materials and their exploitation to increase their reuse
  • Propose more environmentally efficient or more economical recycling processes for sustainable materials
  • Adapt existing products to optimize their performance by facilitating recycling and/or minimizing their environmental impact
  • Develop sustainable materials by optimizing LCA to minimize their environmental impact.
  • Develop and manage strategic industrial projects based on the circular economy
  • Monitor and anticipate the impact of environmental policies and regulations.
  • Master the tools and methods for optimizing waste recovery.

These skills will prepare you to meet the complex challenges of the circular economy, and to occupy key positions in organizations committed to creating sustainable solutions for our planet.
