West-North Brabant and its industries are not yet ready to deal with the ambition of the European Union to have a CO2-neutral and circular economy by 2050. To achieve this, there must be a transition from the conventional linear chemical industry to the circular chemical industry. However, the current labour market and education system do not fully meet the demands of this new industry, which is of great importance for the future economy and well-being of the region. To address the challenges, we propose this JTF project called "C-RECYCLE - Centre for Chemical Recycling Education and Reserach". In response to the needs of the field of work, this project aims to strengthen the regional chemical workforce by providing learning opportunities for different target groups, including students in secondary and higher vocational education, jobseekers, researchers, teachers and company employees. C-RECYCLE will build a sustainable learning infrastructure that provides a learning environment for bachelor's and master's students; LLO (Lifelong Learning) workshops and support for start-ups. The aim is to contribute to a flexible and resilient labour market in West-North Brabant through an inclusive and community-oriented approach. In this project, themes of chemical recycling will be integrated into bachelor's and master's programmes (courses, training courses/projects/modules). On-the-Job Training will be implemented in the co-creation innovation lab at Avans-MNEXT (Breda) and the co-creation pilot facility at Green Chemistry Campus (Bergen op Zoom). Applied and academic knowledge institutions and SMEs will jointly develop case studies based on existing and emerging challenges in chemical recycling research and development. The main innovative chemical recycling technologies in C-RECYCLE are pyrolysis and solvolysis. C-RECYCLE will also organise trainings/workshops for employees of companies, jobseekers and teachers who are looking for competency upgrades to strengthen knowledge and skills of the chemical community of West-North Brabant. Support for start-ups will be provided to prepare innovators before they enter the market. This will further strengthen the local chemistry industry and provide green-oriented professionals to the new and existing chemical entities. The C-RECYCLE consortium consists of a balanced mix of SMEs, academic and applied research institutions and an international research organisation and is supported by the Port of Moerdijk. By joining forces, the consortium will offer expertise, innovation and a global perspective to the project in a socio-economically integral way. The collaboration will increase the employability of both existing and new employees by gaining practical experience. Looking to the future, C-RECYCLE strives to chart a realistic path towards the development of a flexible and resilient labour market in West-North Brabant through joint efforts. In the long term, the consortium aims to continuously expand the generic infrastructure created by this project as one of the circular solutions to the regional challenges facing North Brabant.
