WRAP 2015 estimates that the transition to a circular economy (CE) across Europe will create up to 3million new jobs and reduce unemployment by 520,000. With 400,000 new jobs expected in FR (Club of Rome 2016) and 500,000 in the UK (WRAP 2015). These will mainly be new jobs from increased recycling, revenue logistics and secondary markets. If local authorities (LAs) get their CE strategy right, they can align CE growth with opportunities to generate new jobs for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. There is a need to make a step change in the FCE, as the latest figures show unemployment rates at 3.9% (1.3 million people) in ENG and 8.6% (2.4 million people) in FR. The latter having one of the highest unemployment rates in Europe in 2019 with youth unemployment reaching a record number in the country (Statista 2019). Aligning growth of new markets, like the CE, with upskilling people to secure work in those markets is key to positively tackling unemployment in the FCE. BLUEPRINT will create the first cross-border enabling model for LAs to accelerate the transition to a CE via a three-prong approach:ensuring LAs have the correct strategic framework to combine action on CE with the need to achieve new EU waste recycling targets of 65% by 2035mobilising social enterprises to train people to take advantage of new jobs that are created through the CEenabling households to change their behaviour to increase their recycling rates and support CE growthWe will deliver a CE training programme to a total of 2000 people, with the following distribution: 1300 disadvantaged backgrounds bringing them closer to employment700 SEs and SMEs employees to support their business’s recovery from Covid-19, safeguarding their jobs, and creating CE opportunities.The training will enable 195 disadvantaged individuals to secure new jobs, a total of 15% (195). This equals an annual fiscal benefit of €12.161.18 (by removing someone from benefits) and €17,426.97 (salary that goes back into the local economy) = a total of €29,588.15 per person per yr or €5,769,689.25 if 195 people gain employment. Over a 5 yr-period this would generate an economic benefit of €28,848,446.25 BLUEPRINT unites world class research centres in CE and waste management with LAs in the FCE to develop a BLUEPRINT model that enables LAs to accelerate the transition to a CE. The approach enables LAs to benefit from thought leaders in FR and ENG, identifying the most effective means for the CE to drive both sustainable and inclusive growth and create new jobs for those most at risk from economic exclusion.
