|Is About=Through interactive exercises, learners explore the 9R strategies—Refuse, Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Refurbish, Remanufacture, Repurpose, Recycle—and understand how these practices contribute to sustainability across product lifecycles. Participants reflect on the environmental, social, and economic impacts of circularity, developing systems thinking and adaptability skills. By the end of the module, learners will be able to integrate circular principles into research, innovation, and design processes, promoting resource efficiency, responsible consumption, and sustainable development.

|Instruction Step Title=Watch & Wonder: A Circularity Intro
|Instruction Step Text=Please watch the video carefully! The purpose of this exercise is to assess your understanding of the concept of circularity and its role in addressing today’s environmental challenges. Circularity is essential because it helps reduce resource extraction, waste, and pollution while keeping materials in use for as long as possible. By fostering more sustainable production and consumption patterns, circularity contributes to protecting ecosystems, supporting equitable economies, and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

|Instruction Step Title=Watch: The Circularity Approach.
|Instruction Step Text=Please watch the video carefully! The purpose of this exercise is to test your comprehension of circularity and the key processes that support it. Circularity is not only about recycling but also about refusing, reducing, reusing, repairing, refurbishing, remanufacturing, and repurposing materials—always guided by the principle of “reduce by design.”

|Instruction Step Title=Putting the 9Rs to work
|Instruction Step Text=In this third and final exercise we summarise the key content that emerged from the previous two activities, while also helping you gain a deeper understanding of the 9R framework and its practical implications. The 9R strategy is a practical framework in the circular economy that guides how we can minimize waste and maximize the value of materials throughout their lifecycle. It emphasizes preventing unnecessary use, extending product life, and responsibly reusing, repairing, or recycling materials. By applying the 9R principles, we can design more sustainable systems that reduce environmental impact and support social and economic wellbeing.
