Summary

The SAWYER project aims to facilitate the transition to a more circular economy for European furniture companies. To this end, both the main legislative instruments (including existing and developing directives) and voluntary instruments (good practices, standards, eco trends...) that may influence this circular transition will be studied.

How these instruments are expected to affect and transform the European furniture sector by 2030, including the emergence of new business models, will be analized. How the transition will affect jobs and their tasks, the occupational risks of the workers, and their new training needs will also be studied.

Execution period: 01/03/2019 - 28/02/2021
