    The goalAcquisition of basic knowledge about the specifics of the industrial treatment and processing of natural polymers. Procedures for obtaining materials and products from natural polymers. Gaining knowledge about the behavior, the extent of use and recycling of materials made from natural polymers.
    The outcomeStudents recognize the specifics of obtaining materials from natural polymers and differences in processing procedures compared to conventional polymeric materials. Students develop the skills to competently and in an organized way access the problem ,and the ability to select the most appropriate natural polymeric material, especially as an environmentally favorable alternative to the other materials.
