Book Chapter Description

There is a growing global interest in shifting from linear to Circular Economy (CE), which is closely linked to the implementation of sustainable development. Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) can play a major role in the dissemination of CE practices, skills and knowledge. This study provides a review of current practices of CE in HEIs. For this purpose, a number of recent articles have been reviewed and analyzed. This study provides a framework for CE application in HEIs. A case study shows how a university has applied CE practices and how its UI GreenMetric® evaluation can be used to assess the level of universities’ engagement in the CE. The results showed that CE practices in HEIs could be categorized into six groups. Furthermore, the case study reflects an example of CE practices in HEIs and a high correlation of UI GreenMetric® with the degree of CE application.
