Using our advanced input-output Models, FRAMES, Cambridge Econometrics explored the potential benefits of implementing circular measures in Senegal, including:
- Improved waste collection / recycling rates
- Food waste prevention
- Use of organic fertilisers
- Use of recycled materials for plastic packaging and construction
By 2030, compared to a business-as-usual scenario, circular economy measures in Senegal could:
- Increase GDP and jobs
- Improve trade balance by reducing imports
- Reduce efficiency losses in the agricultural value chain
- Strengthen economic opportunities for informal waste workers
The findings from this report contributed to the overall findings from the full eight-country report and helped to identify areas where the EU and Africa can cooperate on policy decisions to advance the circular economy in Senegal.
