      The goalIntroduction to the manufacturing and technological aspects of obtaining useful components from waste, by-products and secondary raw materials. Acquiring engineering knowledge necessary to further advance in the field of metal, non-metal, polymer and composite recycling and material design.
      The outcomeStudents can independently follow engineering, material and energy flows in recycling technologies. Expert knowledge necessary for further educational and experimental activities in recycling and the selection of BAT or a combination of technological solutions.
