The Circular Economy In India: Exploring Circular Jobs and Economic Growths

 The significance of circular economy is not unknown. While India is gradually transitioning towards circular economy, it is driving sustainability and economic growth. What’s more, the World Economic Forum predicts that circular economy paves the way for over 50 million careers. In addition to economic growth, circular economy principles have made an enormous market for job seekers too. Are you curious to know more about the job market that circular economy intends to create? Let’s read:  

• Material sorters

• Design specialists for repurposing materials 

• Repair technicians to repair and maintain products 

• Specialists in refurbishing and upgrading used products 

• Craftsmen with skills in metalworking

• Sustainable materials expert

• Circular product designers 

• Supply chain managers, and more. 

 Can you imagine a future where all used materials and broken products are easily upcycled and processed for further use? There wouldn’t be any waste piling up in the landfills, right? Well, circular economy is all about making this dream a beautiful reality. Here’s how circular economy envisions fostering sustainability in India: 

• To begin with, circular economy promises to open numerous job opportunities in areas like recycling and product design. 

• A circular flow of economic activity encourages manufacturers to produce products that are easy to recycle and repurpose for more use. 

• In India, circular economy plays a big role in reducing the country's dependency on raw materials and imported materials from other countries. Thus, strategic economic activity supports job growth and increased local production. 

• India’s transition to circular economy is great in many ways, and one of them is stimulating innovation and new product designs. 

So, what is circular economy, and how is it different?  

Circular economy is a sustainable effort to reduce the environmental impacts of waste. If you are not already aware, the world generates over2.01 billion tonnes of solid waste every year. Moreover, the manufacturing units and importers keep adding more to the waste stream. Little do we realize that these wastes are extremely resourceful and valuable. It creates appalling environmental impacts and health hazards too. What’s worse, though, is the major loss of raw materials that are finite and valuable. Circular economy and sustainability are all about collecting and channelling the waste to reuse, recycle, and eventually reduce the growing waste stream by large. In this way, we are not just successful at downsizing the waste stream and the environmental impacts but effectively conserving the depleting ratios of natural resources. Of course, it works wonders in promoting economic growth as the demand to extract and process new materials for products practically comes to an end.  

Besides, increasing the use-case of resources lowers the production costs by large. In addition to lowering the environmental impacts and improving human health, circular economy creates a more diversified and strong economy that is less susceptible to fluctuations in product prices. 

In short, circular economy is necessary to manage waste effectively. This is why PROs like Karo Sambhav are working round the clock to ensure maximum adoption of circular economy in India.
