The project CICLO – boosting the CIrcular eConomy skills of the EU services Labor fOrce– is financed by European Commission, through funds granted by the National Erasmus + Education and Training Key Action 2 (KA2) – Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices (Strategic Partnerships for vocational education and training) with reference number 2019-1-SK01-KA202-060689.
The idea of the project derives from the fact that valuable materials are leaking from our economies. In a world where demand and competition for finite and sometimes scarce resources will continue to increase, and pressure on resources is causing greater environmental degradation and fragility, Europe can benefit economically and environmentally from making better use of those resources.
Moving towards a more circular economy is essential to deliver the resource efficiency agenda established under the EU2020 Strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. The Circular economy offers an opportunity to reinvent our economy, making it more sustainable and competitive. With this new plan to make Europe’s economy cleaner and more competitive, the EC is delivering ambitious measures to cut resource use, reduce waste and boost recycling.
Higher and sustained improvements of resource efficiency performance are within reach and can bring major economic benefits. Successful implementation can create more than 180000 direct jobs in the EU by 2030, in addition to the estimated 400000 jobs that will be created by the implementation of the waste legislation in force. It will lead to satisfying between 10 and 40% of the raw material demand in the EU, while contributing to achieving the 2030 EU target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40%.
Aim:
CICLO envisions the development of an interactive, needs-oriented online Circular Economy labor market ecosystem and skills mapping, providing a training package for employed and unemployed persons in order to equip them with basic circular economy jobs skills related to recycling management, reuse and remanufacturing opportunities, and servitisation (services instead of products) development.
