Abstract:

Challenge Based Learning (CBL) is an engaging multidisciplinary approach to teach and learn that promotes students to use it and take advantage of technology in their day to day to deal with real problems. The approach is collaborative and hands-on, students work with other students, their teachers, and experts in their communities and around the world to develop deeper knowledge of the subjects, accept and solve challenges, take action, share their experience, and enter into a global discussion about important issues.
Based on the problem that we produce twice as much plastic waste as two decades ago, almost half of which comes from OECD countries, and considering that only 9% is successfully recycled, a program called "Zero Waste” is proposed. The objective of the program is to know and analyze the problem that there is with recycling within the University of Basque Country UPV-EHU, specifically in the Faculty of Business and Economics.
The initial results show a lack of recycling among students and teachers, a lack of organization of garbage containers, as well as a lack of specific containers for recycling.
