The programme teaches the circularity of products and systems at a technical-scientific level.
Thus is develops competences in the students, especially with regard to
- resource efficiency,
- reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and
- the development of sustainably usable and recyclable products.
Responsible Consumption and Production Engineers master the concept of circularity of material flow systems especially on the production side: From primary raw materials, the production systems to the product.
Additionally, they are qualified to plan and implement the production of quality-assured, secondary raw materials from end-of-life products using sustainable, innovative technical-technological recycling processes.
They have the competence to drive holistic development of products and production systems, both in terms of production and consumption of the products.
