Good evening, everyone!
My name is Bárbara Billón, I am 24 years old, and I was born in 2000 in Madrid.
I hold a degree in Environmental Technologies Engineering from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), which provided me with a solid foundation in environmental protection and other knowledges like waste management, treatment processes, and emerging technologies uses for sustainable development. This expertise is now being further complemented and expanded through my master’s studies in Circular Economy, where advanced strategies are explored, such as, sustainable business practices, eco-design, and efficient resource and energy management.
Additionally, my six-month Erasmus experience in Paris broadened my global perspective on sustainability and underscored the importance of international collaboration. This experience, combined with the diverse group of international colleagues I am fortunate to study alongside in my master’s program, has enriched my ability to communicate, respect, collaborate and consider varied perspectives—skills that are crucial for fostering innovative solutions and achieving a sustainable future.
I am convinced that the circular economy is vital to building a more sustainable and prosperous future, and I am eager to contribute to this transformative movement.
If you share an interest in circularity and wish to collaborate or exchange ideas, this blog is the perfect place to do it.
See you !
