Circular Economy Could Create Over 200000 UK Jobs

摘要

Reusing and recycling waste materials and developing a more circular economy in the UK could create 200 000 jobs and contribute to improving Britain's labour market situation, according to research. A new study, undertaken jointly by WRAP and the Green Alliance, shows that improving resource efficiency can make a "valuable contribution" to improving Britain's labour market situation. While Britain has significantly increased its resource efficiency in recent years, supply risks in an increasingly competitive global economy mean that we need to get better at using natural resources.
