Evidence snapshot for Munich
Munich combines circular economy and employment initiatives to address waste and labour-market challenges. Halle 2 prevents approximately 1,000 tonnes of waste annually through a municipal second-hand store that has created 10 jobs and attracts ~270 visitors daily, while the city recycled 54% of household waste in 2018—above the EU's 50% target. The Munich Employment and Qualification Program (MBQ) supports around 6,700 people annually through ~110 projects, reaching 5,300 long-term unemployed and 3,900 migrants with €29 million in annual municipal funding. Munich also fosters innovation through competitive programmes like the Innovation Challenge, which has run annually since 2018 and produced ~15 creative solutions to city challenges in 2023, though the evidence does not quantify broader economic or social outcomes from these initiatives.
