PINO, Carmen; VASQUEZ, Mario; JACOME, Orfa  e  REYNALDO, Peña. Circular economy model for technical and technological institutes. uct [online]. 2024, vol.28, n.125, pp.121-132.  Epub 05-Fev-2025. ISSN 1316-4821.  https://doi.org/10.47460/uct.v28i125.862.

The circular economy is based on sharing, reusing, repairing, renewing, and recycling materials and products. Education is fundamental in understanding and promoting this model. However, in technological education institutes, it is not common to incorporate these concepts into curricula, research, or operations. Hence, a need arises to evaluate the application of the circular economy in these institutions, through socioeconomic and environmental aspects. Thus, this work aimed to develop a model to implement the circular economy in technological institutions, focusing on environmental and social sustainability. A model is developed based on a critical and interpretative literature review, employing Grounded Theory and the Participatory Action Research methodology. The main results present a structured model of the circular economy for technical and technological institutes, outlining the strategies that should be implemented for its development, which experts and directors of these institutions have validated.

Palavras-chave : circular economy; recycling; sustainability.
