The aim of the course is to provide students with knowledge of waste management. The principles of production processes and their interaction with the environment, waste management policy and its applications are presented.
A student who has successfully completed the course can: describe the environmental problems arising from the business activity, to characterize the functioning of direct and indirect waste management policy instruments; to characterize the legal obligations of the waste producer and the waste management to characterize the principles of economic administrative regulation of waste management, describe the toxic effects of some waste and explain the principle of their action, explain the principle of operation and the effects of voluntary waste management instruments, develop and explain models of material and energy flows of business processes and suggest possible improvements with their help. A student who has successfully completed the course can: propose effective solutions taking into account, in addition to the appropriate waste management, economic aspects. propose solutions to situations arising from conflict of economic and environmental goals Propose solutions to waste management efficiency situations Design models and perform calculations to quantify the expected results of the measures under consideration choose a variant representing optimal environmental-economic performance of existing structures of both private and public sector based on comparison of possible solutions.
