Modules 4 and 5 of the CirCLER Training Course (https://circlercourse.eu/) 

The focus of Module 4 (Circular Musiness Models) is about strategically rethinking how value is created and retained in the industry — not just recycling, but redesigning the business itself.

The CirCLER Training Course begins with a deep dive into EU sustainability regulation, ensuring that learners first gain a solid understanding of the rules shaping Europe’s transition to a circular economy. 

The CirCLER training toolkit supports the entire learning pathway of future Circular Economy Transition Managers (CETMs), starting from the fundamental principles introduced in the first module (M1) and moving towards strategic reflection and future perspectives developed in the final module (M10). As the opening and closing modules of the training programme, M1 and M10 help structure a comprehensive pathway that supports learners in understanding the challenges of circularity and in translating knowledge into concrete actions within the furniture sector.

The CirCLER project partners met in Vaasa on 20th November 2025, hosted by the University of Vaasa, for the fifth transnational project meeting. The CirCLER project aims to define a new qualification profile and develop innovative curricula for the Circular Economy Transition Manager (CETM) in the furniture industry.
