Do your teams face challenges specific to your industry or to a particular topic? Circulab Academy designs custom circular economy training programs focused on a topic (eco-design, reuse, business models, resilience…) or on your industry, as it does for UCPA, L'Oréal, and ADP. We co-design the program with you, in person at your premises, remotely, or in a hybrid format.
Circulab Academy courses are built on learning by doing: short videos for the theory, then hands-on exercises, case studies, and work on the Circulab tools. You leave with a method, tools, and know-how you can apply directly to your projects.
Free, open tools: the Circular Canvas, the Partner Map, and the Value Chain Canvas are free under a Creative Commons license.
