The SRWMPO encourages the recognition of economic and employment opportunities that can arise through the Circular Economy through efficient resource use and reuse and activities that maintain the value of materials.

In Chapter 7 Economy and Employment, such as in Sections 7.53 to 7.56, reference could be made to the relevant opportunities that engagement in the Circular Economy could bring.  Additionally, there is potential for social enterprises to be set up around Circular Economy activities such as reuse, repair as well as recycling initiatives at community level – ref Objective 7.6 Social Enterprises.  It is noted that reference to the bioeconomy and circular economy is included in Objective 7.22 Diversification of the Rural Economy.
