What Our Certified Professionals Say
"I enjoyed going through multiple aspects of Circularity to broaden contextual understanding, help me reframe current problems, and deep dive into features (and differences) of alternative economic models. I particularly appreciate the emphasis CEA places upon systems thinking to make sense of the complex environment of today."
Chahin Boutouila
Development Director for Central Asia
“The content of the CE course is very practical, and it has equipped me with the profound knowledge, skills, and confidence required to speak decisively about the Circular Economy. There are no doubts that circular economy as a new production and consumption model will ensure sustainable growth over time. With the circular economy, we can drive the optimization of resources, reduce the consumption of raw materials, and recover waste by recycling or giving it a second life as a new product.”
Monika Vejseli
Consultant
"The learning journey with the CEA was well thought out and professional. The support is great, and the people are very positive, open-minded and highly educated. What I liked most was the fact that the CE Alliance was always up to date with the current scientific knowledge in the CE, even though it is a very fast-moving space with a lot of changes. It is my opinion that they managed to understand the scale of transitions in the different sectors of the global economy."
