Europe aims to double recycled material use by 2030 under the 2020 Circular Economy Action Plan, but progress is slow and uneven across member states; key barriers include skills gaps, shifting targets, and funding constraints. The Erasmus+-funded Become project fosters circular skills in Finland, Netherlands, Slovenia, and Bulgaria through training and local learning communities to support this transition.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You face a widening skills gap as Europe shifts policy to enforce circular economy goals, creating demand for training and consulting in circular practices. Align your offer to emerging European programmes like Erasmus+ Become for early market access and funding routes.
