| Course description |
|
(Osada) A first half part of this intensive course provides students with mainly legislative structures and current experiences of waste management. Students will learn to recognize the restrictions on ongoing recycling and proper disposals of waste and to develop abilities to provide your own opinions on desired measures to solve the subjects. (Konno) Utilization of renewable biomass resources is key technology to build circulatory society. In this lecture, students learn the properties of plant biomass and its biological degradation. |
| Expected Learning |
|
(Osada) Learners who successfully complete will be able to: (1) Recognize the present framework and current situations of waste management: C~A (2) Exemplify the specific current restrictions on waste management: B~A (3) Propose own ideas regarding the solutions to solve the problems and the future ideal waste management: A~S (Konno) The students are expected to understand basics of wood biodegradation mechanisms and to be able to think out the effective utilization of plant biomass.

| Assessment/Grading |
|
(Osada) Grading is evaluated by submitting reports. Reporting is assigned after group discussion and at the last lecture. Weighting of the evaluation of the submitted reports is 40% and 60%, respectively. (Konno) quiz (30%) and final report (70%) |
| Message from instructor(s) |
|
(Osada) The lecture will be given by showing various statistical data and ample actual examples to clarify the learners’ images regarding sustainable waste recycling and proper disposal which is to reduce environmental impact and is acceptable economically and socially. (Konno) Please deeply consider how we should use biomass resources. |
