CiRcular Economy Skills enhanCEment NeTwOrk
Global demand for resources is increasing and significant pressures are causing environmental degradation, consuming 100 billion tons of materials annually, of which only 8.6% is recovered, according to the 2021 Circularity Gap Report. Moving from linear economy models to circular economy ones seems to be the only way to address both short and long-term sustainability challenges: keeping resources in the economy even beyond the end of the product&39§;s life cycle, reducing waste through reuse, recycling or remanufacturing. Above change in the economic model is not simple and requires profound modifications in the entire value chain: products must be designed in a sustainable way and easily usable in a circular economy paradigm, new business and market models are needed, innovation is requested to turn waste into resources and consumer behavior has to change significantly. The entire quadruple helix needs to be involved in transforming the way businesses, academia&research, decision-making and civil society operate, as well as new skills to facilitate this transition. CRESCENTO addresses these challenges by setting up an ADRION transnational cooperation network on circular economy, defining an education and training program and developing a joint master&39§;s progra
