fostering sustainability, economic growth and social equity</strong>. </p><p>This initiative calls for supporting policies with a holistic perspective for a sector that is key to reducing environmental impact, creates green jobs along the global value chain, and contributes greatly to the EU’s GDP while minimising the use of scarce resources. </p><p>The platform's main aim is to

economy as a new production paradigm. However, while the economic and environmental dimensions of the circular economy have been explored, its social impact (decent pay, gender equality, labour conditions) has been overlooked.</p><p>By surveying 100 workers and interviewing 40 managers in India, the authors developed an inventory of circular jobs with the respective demographic. They found that circular jobs in India are of low quality due to relatively low wage and job security indicators (especially for female workers). Informal migrant women in resale, repair and recycling are most vulnerable. Resale and rental based on internet platform models have the highest earning quality for men and women. </p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </li> <li> <div data-history-node-id="8385" class="node node--type-event node--view-mode-teaser ds-2col clearfix"> <div class='teaser-intro'> <div class="field field-node--node-title field-name-node-title field-type-ds field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><h2> <a href="/platform/en/news-and-events/all-events/brazilian-circular-hotspot" hreflang="en">Brazilian Circular Hotspot</a> </h2> </div> </div> </div> <div class="group-cecon-url-file-info"> <div class="field field-node--field-cecon-web-original-content field-name-field-cecon-web-original-content field-type-link field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><a href="https://www.ibec-circular.org/en/bch24" target="_blank">Brazilian Circular Hotspot 2024</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-node--field-cecon-event-start-end-date field-name-field-cecon-event-start-end-date field-type-daterange field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><time datetime="2024-11-06T12:00:00Z">06 Nov 2024</time> to <time datetime="2024-11-08T12:00:00Z">08 Nov 2024</time> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="group-left"> <div class="field field-node--field-cecon-event-image field-name-field-cecon-event-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/platform/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/editfoto01_prancheta1.png?itok=hHsnu3ks" width="220" height="127" alt="Cyclist in Recife, Brazil" typeof="foaf:Image" /> </div> </div> </div> <div class="group-cecon-teaser-info"> <div class="field field-node--field-cecon-event-type field-name-field-cecon-event-type field-type-entity-reference field-label-above"> <div class="field-label">Event type</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><a href="/platform/en/event-type/conference" hreflang="en">Conference</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-node--field-cecon-event-city field-name-field-cecon-event-city field-type-string field-label-above"> <div class="field-label">City</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item">Recife</div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-node--field-cecon-country field-name-field-cecon-country field-type-country field-label-above"> <div class="field-label">Country</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item">Other (Brazil)</div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-node--field-cecon-key-area field-name-field-cecon-key-area field-type-entity-reference field-label-above"> <div class="field-label">Key Area</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><a href="/platform/en/key-area/innovation-and-investments" hreflang="en">Innovation and investments</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-node--field-cecon-sector field-name-field-cecon-sector field-type-entity-reference field-label-above"> <div class="field-label">Sector</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><a href="/platform/en/sector/awareness-raising" hreflang="en">Awareness raising</a>,</div> <div class="field-item"><a href="/platform/en/sector/innovation-and-investment" hreflang="en">Innovation and investment</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-node--field-cecon-scope field-name-field-cecon-scope field-type-entity-reference field-label-above"> <div class="field-label">Scope</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><a href="/platform/en/scope/cooperation-and-development" hreflang="en">Cooperation and development</a>,</div> <div class="field-item"><a href="/platform/en/scope/international" hreflang="en">International</a>,</div> <div class="field-item"><a href="/platform/en/scope/coordination-group-2023-2025" hreflang="en">Coordination Group 2023-2025</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-node--field-cecon-organising-body field-name-field-cecon-organising-body field-type-link field-label-above"> <div class="field-label">Organising Body</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><a href="https://www.ibec-circular.org/">IBEC -

ecosystem. It focuses on capacity building and knowledge sharing, enhancing regional and transnational cooperation, focusing on key value chains, promotion of circular economy strategies, and implementation of practical solutions.</p> <p>The project showcases success stories from across Europe, emphasising the practical application of circular economy principles in various industries. They demonstrate innovative solutions to challenges in recycling, resource efficiency and sustainable manufacturing processes.</p> <p>This brochure sets out 122 success stories from nine countries
