About Our Waste Management and Circular Economy Course

Time Training Center’s 5-day/30-hour Waste Management and Circular Economy Course equips you with the knowledge and skills to develop and implement sustainable waste management systems aligned with circular economy principles. In the face of increasing environmental challenges and resource depletion, the Waste Management and Circular Economy course offers a transformative approach to tackling waste issues that directly impact industries across the MENA region, including government, oil & gas, and energy sectors. As businesses and governments strive to reduce their ecological footprint while driving economic growth, understanding and implementing effective waste management systems aligned with circular economy principles is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity.

This course delves deeply into the complexities of modern waste management and explores innovative ways to transform waste from a liability into a resource. With a focus on the principles of reduce, reuse, and recycle, participants will learn how to develop systems that not only minimize waste but also promote the recovery of valuable materials for reintegration into production cycles.

The program is designed to address the pressing need for sustainable waste management strategies that meet both local and international regulatory requirements. Through case studies from the MENA region and beyond, participants will discover the latest advances in waste management technologies, effective policy frameworks, and financing models—giving them the tools to design and implement robust systems that foster environmental protection while delivering tangible economic benefits.

This course is essential for those seeking to drive meaningful change within their organizations, helping them transition to circular economy models that reduce costs, improve operational efficiency, and unlock new opportunities for sustainable growth. Whether you are in the public or private sector, this training will empower you to create actionable solutions that align with global sustainability goals, while ensuring compliance and resilience in the face of evolving environmental challenges.
