Value-based working and learning in the circular economy

KOMATRA - value-based working and learning in the circular economy

The ability of companies to conserve natural resources through the circular economy and to support this change through new forms of working and learning is certain to become a decisive competitive advantage in the coming years.

The KOMATRA project, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, is developing innovative forms of working and learning in the context of the circular economy with Saarland and Rhineland-Palatinate companies, research institutes and institutions from the automotive and medical technology sectors on the basis of the latest scientific findings.

This takes into account the idea of sustainability, stands for new forms of cooperation, knowledge exchange, competence building and regionalism. Circular economy methods are particularly in demand in the automotive industry, as new sustainable products require an equally sustainable production and supply chain. Value orientation is already a key factor for successful work and business and for a strategic and participation-oriented design of work.
