| Learning outcomes: | Students will get the knowledge of how to transfer bio-wastes to useful products and their environmental applications. They will get knowledge about main soil and water pollutants and possible use of bio-waste in water and soil remediation. Students will also get knowledge of how to design bio-waste materials for environmental purposes e.g. as adsorbing materials, gas capture filters, and soil additives |
| Assessment methods and assessment criteria: | Final exam and project |
