ABSTRACT
The article discusses issues related to the tasks faced by universities in the aspect of broadly understood environmental education. The terms that have become a permanent element in the dictionaries of everyday life, both scientific and public institutions, enterprises, and more and more often the wider society (mainly thanks to the mass media) are the following: clean production, sustainable development, circular economy, CSR, ESG, zero strategy waste, etc. Their functioning in life should be consolidated and developed, and universities are assigned a special role in this respect. The publication also indicates the results of surveys showing how awareness of the trained students in the field of the raw materials industry and sustainable development is increasing.
