Summary
Brief programme: - Waste issues: regulations and treatment channels (two hours of lectures, four hours of tutorials), introduction to radiation protection (two hours) - The methods and concepts of (i) life cycle analysis (LCA): introduction to LCA, methodology, environmental impact of the manufacturing, use and disposal stages, important parameters when assessing the life cycle of a material. (ii) eco-design (int. ext. Act-Environment): context, internal pollution, tools (LCA, FDSE, HQE), environmental debt, carbon footprint approach, application on a particular product (four hours of lectures, four hours of tutorials, ten hours of practical work, including four hours of site visits) - Treatment and recycling of plastic waste (four hours of lectures) - Case study: phosphates: industrial aspects, environmental problems (phosphogypsum and eutrophication), recycling and recovery. (two hours of lectures, two hours of tutorials)
Educational goals
- Fully understand the concepts and know the standards and certifications that regulate the fields of recycling, eco-design and recovery. - Know how to critically use assessment tools and methods (life cycle analysis [LCA], environmental and health declarations, etc.) specific to this field. - Acquire the eco-design fundamentals and the High Environmental Quality (Haute Qualitￜ Environnementale ￜ HQE) approach and put these concepts into practice on a particular product. - Know the main recycling and recovery channels for waste in general and waste related to chemistry in particular and the regulations associated with their management.

Continuous Assessment / Final Exam
Comments: Final exam (written exam) (70%) + mark for the mini-project (30%).
Online resources
The necessary course and bibliographic elements are available on the course's Moodle page as well as on dedicated websites (Web of Science, bibliographic research via the Lilliad centre, etc.)
Pedagogy
In-person course - The tutorials are organised into mini-projects (the project/problem-based learning approach) and practical work consists of case studies that make use of specific software for life cycle analysis (LCA). - Site visits are planned.
