Circular systems must enable human mobility alongside material recovery. Our model supports a structured progression:

Informal → Professional → Formal → Independent

Through capability building, institutional linkages, identity recognition, and market integration, workers transition into Green Collar® Professionals and entrepreneurs participating in formal value chains. This approach enables:

• Professional identity
• Income stability and predictability
• Access to opportunity
• Long-term economic participation

Circularity, in this context, becomes a pathway for structural inclusion.
