The EDU4PlastiCircular training and certification programme has been featured within the European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform (#CEstakeholderEU), a joint initiative of the European Commission and the European Economic and Social Committee.
The initiative highlights EDU4PlastiCircular’s online accessibility, practical learning outcomes and open repository of educational resources, making it relevant to professionals, educators and students interested in circular plastics management.
Building skills for more sustainable plastics management
The EDU4PlastiCircular e-learning course provides knowledge and practical tools for understanding the full lifecycle of plastics and packaging, from production and use to recycling and end-of-life.
Participants learn about responsible plastic use, circular solutions, relevant policies, innovative approaches for extending the life of plastic materials, and the links between plastics and climate change.
The programme is aimed at managers, employees, higher education teachers and engineering students at BSc, MSc and PhD level who want to strengthen their green skills and contribute to a circular and climate-neutral economy.
Open educational resources
Alongside the course, EDU4PlastiCircular offers an open repository of e-books, presentations, videos and examples of good practices. These resources support education, professional development and innovation in plastics management.
Its inclusion in the European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform community underlines the importance of education and skills development in the transition towards a more circular economy.
For anyone working or studying in the fields of plastics, sustainability and circularity, EDU4PlastiCircular offers an accessible way to build knowledge and turn it into practical action.
