My REHA experience: Case study related to circular economy in construction and public procurement
At the beginning of the semester, I enrolled to a course of circular economy at TUAS. The teaching method in this course was based on research hatchery that concentrates on multidisciplinary project learning. Circular economy as a topic was habitual to me but the hatchery method was new.
Our REHA experience: project-life can lead to unexpected situations!
Our project assignment came from a private waste management company. The assignment was to collect and analyse data from packaged inbound material, and waste flows of two healthcare units. The client company wanted us to recognise the current practices and bottlenecks of material flow, as well as overall analysis of areas of improvement on their waste management.
