<h3><b>Unraveling Our Achievements in the G2 Fall Report 2026</b></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify">The latest report announced by G2 offers a review of our performance in the “Online Course Providers” and “Technical Skills Development” categories. We have maintained consistency in the G2 fall report, as the “<strong>Users Love Us</strong>” badge is also a top addition among our achievements.</p>
<h4><b>Online Course Providers</b></h4>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">We have earned 13 badges in the “Online Course Providers” category in the new report by G2. The foremost badge for us in this category is the “Momentum Leaders” badge, which proves that we have achieved the fastest growth rate. It serves as a trusted credential that represents our growth in various areas, including,</span></p>
<ul style="text-align: justify">
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Employee growth</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Web presence</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Social media</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Growth in review volume</span></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">The other badges we have received in this category are the “High Performer” badges for different client types and markets. We are proud to have achieved the highest customer satisfaction scores for enterprise, mid-market, and small business clients. In addition, we have maintained high customer satisfaction across various markets, including the United Kingdom, EMEA, Asia Pacific, and Europe.</span></p>
<h4><b>Technical Skills Development </b></h4>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">Our performance in the “Technical Skills Development” category has been more diverse, as we received different types of badges. G2 has also given us the “Momentum Leaders” badge in this category in their Fall 2026 Report. We have earned 13 “High Performer” badges in this category, with new badges for markets like Canada, Middle East &amp; Africa, and EMEA.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">The most striking highlight among our achievements in this category is the “Ease of Use” badge. It clearly shows that our learners experience minimal issues in using our <a href="https://101blockchains.com/courses/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">courses</a> and <a href="https://101blockchains.com/certifications/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">accredited certification programs</a>. The “Easiest Admin” badge also proves that our team learning plans are easy to manage. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify">Another top detail in the 101 Blockchains G2 Report is the “Best Meets Requirements” badge. The badge validates our commitment to ensuring that our learners get the most relevant learning resources.</p>
<h4><b>Users Love Us</b></h4>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400"><img loading="lazy" class="alignleft wp-image-57439 lazyload" style="margin-right: 15px" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" alt="users love us" width="150" height="150" data-src="http://mycrochettips.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/g2-users-loves-us-258x300-1.png">We have always had one constant in all the G2 reports, and that is the “<strong>Users Love Us</strong>” badge. It is probably the one badge that makes us feel like all our efforts have truly paid off. The “Users Love Us” badge is special to all our team members as it proves that learners have gained something valuable from our offerings.    </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">Platforms that get this badge must have received positive ratings from authentic users. As we receive the “Users Love Us” badge once again, we believe that our users continue to actually believe in our platform. The badge makes our commitment stronger and empowers us to introduce better learning resources.</span></p>

<h4>Virgin Media O2 is investing £3 million to help councils and community organisations scale local networks to recover, refurbish and redistribute unwanted devices.</h4>
<p>The <a href="https://news.virginmediao2.co.uk/responsible-business/circularity/tech-rehome-network/">Tech Rehome Network Fund</a> will support projects that help improve digital inclusion and reduce electronic waste within cities.</p>
<p>The first £500,000 funding round opens today (8 September), with further rounds to follow.</p>
<p>Councils, charities and community organisations can apply with initiatives to create local networks that recover, refurbish and redistribute unwanted devices to people who need them – while addressing growing e-waste levels in the UK.</p>
<p>Virgin Media O2 is inviting applications in particular in cities where promising device reuse schemes exist, but where funding is needed to develop long-term sustainability. </p>
<p>Commenting on the Fund, Dana Haidan, Chief Sustainability Officer at Virgin Media O2, said: “Through the Tech Rehome Network Fund, we&#8217;re investing in trusted local organisations to build the networks cities need to keep devices in use for longer.”</p>
<p>“By making it easier for households and businesses across cities to pass on unwanted technology, we can give devices a second life while helping more people get online.”</p>
<p>A new study, commissioned by Virgin Media O2, found that around 460 million unused digital devices are sitting in UK homes and businesses, while <a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fnews%2Fpre-loved-tech-will-help-to-bridge-digital-divide-under-new-government-charter&amp;data=05%7C02%7C%7C96a3631b8f0844454dca08df0d859e0c%7C43dd7f33993442e892f58548d6366a75%7C0%7C0%7C639244539710750573%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=veB9CdoPQMjb52%2Fx17KAbEDtKt7O1M%2BjcWNXIEEZJfY%3D&amp;reserved=0">1.5 million</a> people across the UK do not have access to a smartphone, tablet or laptop.</p>
<p>The research estimates that, of the unused devices, almost six in ten – equivalent to around 267 million phones, tablets and laptops – are still suitable for reuse or repair.  </p>
<p>Minister for Digital Inclusion, Vicky Foxcroft commented: “The costs of purchasing a phone, tablet or computer can be a major barrier to people getting themselves online – the reality is that there are countless unused devices sitting in homes around the country.”</p>
<p>“Closing the digital divide requires government, businesses, civil society and communities working together, and I&#8217;m pleased to see Virgin Media O2 pioneering practical solutions that will make a real difference to people&#8217;s lives.”</p>

<h4>Duncan Midwood, CEO of DDRS Alliance, breaks down what the Welsh Government&#8217;s appointment of Exchange for Change to manage its Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) and the other UK nations&#8217; schemes.</h4>
<p>Now united? At last, the UK DRS will be managed by one organisation. On 24 August, the Welsh Government announced that Exchange for Change (EfC), the Deposit Management Organisation (DMO) formed to manage the DRS for England, Northern Ireland and Scotland, had been appointed to manage the Welsh DRS.</p>
<p>This brings all four UK nations under one DRS operator and was essential to get the UK DRS over the line – albeit very late in the day.</p>
<p>Having separate DMOs across the four nations was inconceivable. In many ways the selection of EfC for the Wales DRS was inevitable, though that perceived inevitability almost cost the DRS.</p>
<p>The appointment follows the rejection of EfC’s initial bid by the Welsh Government, reportedly on the basis that they did not adequately address the Welsh Government’s ambitions on glass recycling and reuse.</p>
<p>Many have expressed their view that EfC believed it was the only option open to the Welsh Government and that their initial proposal was dripping with complacency. Who knows? At any rate, the recent appointment of EfC for Wales is excellent news for those supporting a UK-wide DRS.</p>
<figure id="attachment_614058" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-614058" style="width: 472px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" data-recalc-dims="1" class="wp-image-614058 size-medium lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" alt="Welsh DRS glass" width="472" height="333" data-src="http://mycrochettips.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Welsh-DRS-glass.jpg"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-614058" class="wp-caption-text">Wales will include glass in its scheme unlike the other UK nations.</figcaption></figure>
<p>Now that EfC has their hands on the reins, it is full speed ahead to try to launch the world’s biggest DRS by October 1 2027. Even if this timing slips (to Q1 2028), it will still be a hugely challenging undertaking.</p>
<p>So, we have a common DRS across the UK now? Well, not quite! The Welsh legislation includes glass in its own DRS, while glass was excluded from the schemes’ scope in England, N. Ireland and Scotland.</p>
<p>However, as a compromise to secure agreement with the UK Government (to agree not to use the Internal Markets Act to prevent Wales doing something different in their DRS to the rest of the UK, as they did to Scotland), glass bottles included within the scheme will not require labelling nor carry a deposit for the first four years of being ‘live’ i.e. not until October 2031 at the earliest.</p>
<p>Many have asked: “So this means then that glass is not really in the DRS for 4 years after launch of the DRS?”</p>
<p>In many ways that is true. But the legislation does require retailers to ‘take back’ in-scope glass containers (bottles). As the retailers do not need to process deposit returns, most retailers are simply planning to offer bins or crates for consumers to bring back any bottles if they so wish.</p>
<p>However, it is believed that EfC had to commit to a certain return infrastructure in order to have their application for the Welsh DMO approved.</p>
<p>In reality, of course, without a deposit or reward for changing behaviour, the vast majority of consumers will not change what they do day to day.</p>
<p>Products in glass consumed at home will continue to be returned via their kerbside bins, and those littered or dropped in waste bins will continue to be. Hospitality will also be able to largely ignore the glass DRS for the 4-year interim period.</p>
<p>Much of the DRS discussion in industry continues to be centred around glass – even though materially nothing will happen until at least 2031. This is a real headache for EfC, whose mission is clearly to deliver a well-functioning DRS including cans and PET bottles for October 2027 – now a little over a year away!</p>
<p>The glass bottle industry and those players who depend on its use (most notably the global brewers and selected soft drinks brands) are constantly putting the Welsh Government under pressure to drop their glass plans.</p>
<p>In my view, they shouldn’t do that. What they should be doing is using this four-year ‘quiet period’ to find the optimum solution for glass: single-use through a DRS, and reuse.</p>
<p>Further, I believe, respectfully, that the glass bottle industry should focus on optimising the new process, such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), and should turn to DRS somewhere around 2029.</p>
<p>A huge concern for the glass industry is cost. In the run-up to the UK DRS in October 2027 (or maybe up to 6 months later), cans and PET bottles are not within the scope of the UK EPR system, which was launched in 2025.</p>
<p>Glass, however, as it&#8217;s not in scope of the forthcoming ‘UK DRS’, has already started to incur EPR fees. Many see this as glass being unfairly disadvantaged compared to its main soft drinks and alcoholic drinks packaging rivals: cans and PET.</p>
<p>Add to this the fact that the EPR system has set charges based on the weight of packaging – not units. This further penalises glass as a format due to its much higher weight compared to cans and plastic (and cartons).</p>
<p>As EPR is a UK system, and DRS is devolved, there seems little appetite to support the Welsh glass industry, which, as it stands, is facing the costs of a DRS on top of EPR fees. In my view, this must be addressed, and quickly.</p>
<p>So, despite glass not being effectively active in the DRS until 2031 or later, the Welsh Government and EfC must address the current concerns around the direction for glass in a DRS and for reuse.</p>
<p>Many organisations are genuinely concerned about the future of their businesses and, more widely, their business sector. Brushing them aside or ignoring them will serve only to intensify those concerns. An open statement outlining plans to test and develop the optimum solution for glass over the next four years would at least clarify the direction.</p>
<figure id="attachment_542090" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-542090" style="width: 472px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-542090 size-medium lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" alt="Wales DRS" width="472" height="283" data-src="http://mycrochettips.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/iStock-936777180.jpg"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-542090" class="wp-caption-text">A well-designed and well-run DRS across the UK will be transformational, Midwood believes</figcaption></figure>
<p>DDRS Alliance is currently developing a plan to implement a kerbside-focused solution for consumers to return their glass bottles for a reward, and on which reuse trials and pilots can sit.</p>
<p>The plan is for this to run alongside current DRS plans and not to interfere with them. The aim is to provide EfC with two viable DRS models come 2029 or thereabouts, and to generate valuable insights and data to inform the development of an optimum reuse model for glass.</p>
<p>As if it needed any more evidence, even in this article, too much emphasis has been put on glass in a DRS – the tail continues to wag the dog! Glass only accounts for 16% of drink containers across the UK, according to the UK Government.</p>
<p>As Wales represents only around 4.6% of the UK population, glass containers in Wales represent less than 0.9% of the in-scope containers for the UK-wide DRS. One would expect, therefore, that there is very little focus on glass in the DRS!</p>
<p>With that in mind then, let’s turn back to the main event: the UK-wide DRS for cans and PET bottles.</p>
<p>Critical to its successful implementation is for all stakeholders to be supportive and pulling (or pushing) in the same direction. EfC has a mammoth task to implement across all four UK nations at the same time.</p>
<p>Brands, producers, retailers, hospitality, wholesalers, packaging suppliers, trade bodies, environmental groups, waste companies, local authorities, national government and everyone else involved need to be focused on implementing a successful solution to encourage consumers to return their used cans and PET bottles, and then to ensure the maximum amount of that is recycled back into new drink cans and bottles.</p>
<p>Only with clear plans and 100% commitment can consumers get behind such a plan. Certainty is the driving force here, and the UK Governments, with EfC, need to be aligned and act as one. The impression ‘out in the market’ is that we are not there right now.</p>
<p>By most accounts, EfC are doing a good job in scaling their own organisation and engaging with the DRS stakeholders. However, those that will be impacted by DRS and are not central to its functioning have been somewhat sidelined – such as some waste management organisations and most local authorities.</p>
<p>A well-designed and well-run DRS across the UK will be transformational, and all stakeholders should be looking at its impact over the next 10-20 years. The DRS impact will be far wider than short-term collection rates and litter.</p>
<p>Done right, it should change consumer behaviour and how they treat packaging – not simply as a way of getting the product to them in a convenient way, but as a resource that should be cherished and used as many times as possible before being destroyed.</p>
<p>I would encourage all impacted industries to find solutions to the inevitable challenges and changes that a DRS will bring, rather than fighting for their own corner. Let’s get into solution mode!</p>
<p>And, if I may, one last comment on glass! Let’s use the next five years to develop the best way to get glass reuse and recycling optimised, while not impacting or risking the success of the mainstream DRS on cans and PET.</p>
<p>Let retailers focus on cans and PET bottles, and support programmes working in parallel to develop the right solution for glass.</p>

<h4><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-614052 size-full lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" alt="extended producer responsibility" width="860" height="516" data-src="http://mycrochettips.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/CIWM-EPR-image.jpg"></h4>
<h4>EPR is not a ‘recycling tax’, it’s integral to industrial strategy and a real opportunity to drive economic growth, John Twitchen writes.</h4>
<p>The UK needs growth that creates skilled jobs, strengthens regional economies, and delivers better value for households and taxpayers.</p>
<p>Extended Producer Responsibility – or EPR – can help deliver it.</p>
<p>Too often, EPR is presented as little more than a way of making producers pay for recycling, but that seriously undersells its potential.</p>
<p>Well-designed EPR can encourage products that last longer, are easier to repair and safer to recycle. It can create dependable markets for recovered materials, unlock private investment and rebuild domestic capacity in manufacturing, repair, reuse, and remanufacturing – all clearly supporting the <a href="https://news.sky.com/story/labour-mps-form-new-squad-to-ensure-burnham-keeps-key-pledge-13563403">government’s ‘re-industrialisation of the UK’ aim</a>.</p>
<p><strong>EPR should be treated as part of the UK’s industrial strategy &#8211; not simply as a mechanism for paying waste and recycling bills.</strong></p>
<h2>The cost already exists</h2>
<p>Critics frequently describe EPR as a &#8216;tax on consumers&#8217;, but the cost of dealing with discarded products already exists.</p>
<p>We all pay for it through council waste budgets, damaged recycling facilities, fire service call-outs, rising insurance premiums, environmental clean-ups, and the loss of valuable materials from the UK economy.</p>
<p>EPR does not create these costs. It moves them into the market responsible for the products – and gives producers an incentive to reduce waste, impacts, burdens and costs.</p>
<p>A durable, repairable, and recyclable product designed with end-of-life management considerations in mind should not attract the same fee as a short-life product that is difficult or dangerous to deal with. The costs should be different because the impacts are different.</p>
<p>That is where EPR becomes powerful. It can help rebalance the market from things that are <strong>cheap to buy</strong> towards products and services which offer <strong>good value over time</strong>.</p>
<h2>From regulation to investment</h2>
<p>The economic logic is straightforward:</p>
<ul>
<li>Clear rules create predictable producer funding.</li>
<li>Predictable funding creates confidence to invest.</li>
<li>Investment creates infrastructure, skills and jobs.</li>
<li>Better infrastructure retains materials and value in the UK.</li>
</ul>
<p>Businesses can invest in sorting equipment, repair centres, recycling plants and new technologies when there is a reliable market and a clear policy timetable. They are far less likely to invest when implementation dates keep slipping, rules of engagement change and revenues depend on volatile commodity prices.</p>
<p>The UK’s WEEE system already demonstrates this. Producer funding and treatment requirements have supported repeated investment in fridge recycling, display treatment, metals recovery, post-shred sorting and small electrical processing – and there’s more still to come.</p>
<p>The lesson is simple: <strong>create a dependable market framework, and industry will build the capacity to serve it.</strong></p>
<h2>Batteries: A burning issue</h2>
<p>Batteries provide the clearest example of why reform is urgent. Not a week goes by without <a href="https://www.circularonline.co.uk/news/100-firefighters-called-to-fire-at-waste-facility-in-london/">another report of a waste facility fire</a> caused by, or suspected to have been caused by, a battery.</p>
<p>The current producer responsibility and collection system was designed largely around conventional portable batteries. It has not kept pace with the <a href="https://www.circularonline.co.uk/opinions/battery-fires-in-recycling-the-hidden-risk-to-the-circular-economy/">explosion of lithium-ion cells</a> embedded in vapes, toys, power tools, personal electronics, e-bikes and countless low-cost devices.</p>
<p>Many cannot easily be removed. Consumers may not even realise a battery is present.</p>
<p>When these products enter household rubbish or mixed recycling, batteries can be crushed or punctured, triggering fires in bins, collection vehicles, transfer stations, recycling facilities and treatment plants.</p>
<p>The producer sells the product. The waste sector, councils, emergency services, insurers and taxpayers pick up the risk and the cost.</p>
<p>A modern battery EPR system should charge according to the real cost and risk of a product. Fees should reflect battery chemistry, removability, durability, repairability and fire risk. Leading industry figures are now supporting the call for a battery deposit return scheme, first set out in <a href="https://www.circularonline.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/CIWM-373-Batteries-Report-Document-Final-upload-compressed.pdf">CIWM’s July 2024 report</a>.</p>
<p>An updated EPR system for batteries should include:</p>
<ul>
<li>higher fees for unnecessarily embedded/non-removable batteries;</li>
<li>deposit or similar return incentives, at the very least for high-risk products;</li>
<li>producer funding for safe containers, storage and fire prevention;</li>
<li>clear responsibilities for online marketplaces and overseas sellers;</li>
<li>chemistry-specific collection and recovery targets;</li>
<li>support for repair, refurbishment and safe second-life use; and</li>
<li>better traceability for larger batteries.</li>
</ul>
<p>This is not just about preventing fires. It is an industrial opportunity.</p>
<p>End-of-life batteries contain strategically important ‘critical raw materials’, including lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper, manganese and graphite. Recovering them domestically will support emerging domestic recycling specialists alongside skilled jobs, as well as strengthening supply chains and reducing dependence on imported raw materials.</p>
<p>Success should not be measured only in tonnes collected. It should include fires prevented, costs avoided, batteries reused, materials recovered and UK investment secured.</p>
<p>The social impact of batteries – the wrong waste in the wrong place – is currently a major negative cost. We have the opportunity to turn this into a major positive opportunity.</p>
<h2>Textiles: From throwaway fast fashion to domestic industry</h2>
<p>Textiles offer a second major opportunity.</p>
<p><strong>Currently, the UK is literally importing tomorrow’s textile waste without any way of managing it.</strong></p>
<p>The UK imports huge volumes of clothing while retaining relatively little capacity for domestic manufacture, repair, automated sorting or fibre-to-fibre recycling. The current system is on its knees, relying on charities and a dwindling number of private companies for textiles reuse and export.</p>
<p>Driven by fast fashion, volumes have risen dramatically while at the same time quality has plummeted. Export markets are being closed off. Complex blends, coatings, trims and short product lives make recovery harder. Producers currently face little direct financial consequence for placing low-quality or unrecyclable garments on the market.</p>
<p>A strong textiles EPR system should reward durability, repairability, reuse and recyclability. It should penalise unnecessarily complex, short-life products and transparently reinvest revenues in UK collection, sorting, repair and recycling infrastructure.</p>
<p>This is demonstrated by the EU scheme currently being implemented, alongside tightening requirements around eco-design.</p>
<p>Separate targets are essential. A single recycling target could pull wearable clothing away from reuse, even though reuse usually retains more value.</p>
<p>The system must also address exports. Genuine reuse exports can extend product life, but EPR should not subsidise the shipment of low-quality material that simply transfers waste-management costs overseas and out of sight.</p>

<h2>CASE STUDY – Stuff4Life closing the loop</h2>
<p><img data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-614047 size-full lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" alt="" width="860" height="516" data-src="http://mycrochettips.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/iStock-2208775685-1.jpg"></p>
<p>Stuff4Life demonstrates the type of domestic opportunity that effective policy could unlock.</p>
<p>Its work on polyester depolymerisation aims to recover purified chemical feedstock from polyester-rich textiles for use in new material production.</p>
<p>Chemical recycling is not a substitute for using less, making products last longer, repairing them or reusing them. It is the final part of a genuinely circular system for textiles that have reached the end of their useful lives.</p>
<p>The Stuff4Life vision combines:</p>
<p>●       durable UK manufacture of essential textiles;</p>
<p>●       clothing supplied as a service;</p>
<p>●       professional laundering and maintenance;</p>
<p>●       repair and redeployment;</p>
<p>●       high-quality sorting;</p>
<p>●       fibre-to-fibre and chemical recycling; and</p>
<p>●       recovered feedstock used in new products.</p>
<p>Public-sector uniforms and workwear offer an ideal starting point. The NHS, defence, emergency services and councils buy textiles at scale and can specify durability, repairability, traceability, take-back and recycled content.</p>
<p>For workwear, service-based contracts create an especially strong incentive. When a supplier remains responsible for issuing, laundering, repairing and recovering garments, making them last becomes commercially valuable.</p>

<h2><strong>Procurement creates demand</strong></h2>
<p>EPR can create a dependable supply of reusable products and recovered materials. But supply alone is not enough.</p>
<p>Public procurement can create the demand.</p>
<p>Government purchasing standards can favour durable products, repair services, refill and zero-waste solutions, recycled content and circular supply models, alongside wider social impacts including domestic manufacturing.</p>
<p>It can do this while demonstrating better value for money and wider benefits when fully costed. Long-term contracts can give investors confidence that a shift to servitisation will be supported, and that recovered materials will have a market.</p>
<p><strong>EPR creates the supply, procurement creates the demand; together, they drive innovation, support industries and create opportunities.</strong></p>
<h2><strong>What government can do</strong></h2>
<p>The Government should publish firm timetables for reforming batteries and WEEE, and for introducing textiles EPR. The immediate publication of the Circular Economy Growth Plan (CEGP) should support this.</p>
<ul>
<li>Fees must genuinely reward better design;</li>
<li>schemes should fund the full cost of safe collection, communications, infrastructure, enforcement and innovation;</li>
<li>targets should cover prevention, repair, reuse and remanufacturing &#8211; not just tonnes collected;</li>
<li>online marketplace loopholes must be closed, as is being done across the EU;</li>
<li>regional demonstrator projects should connect circular economy investment with local industrial strengths and technical skills; and</li>
<li>success should be measured through investment, jobs, public costs avoided, product life extended and recovered materials returned to UK production.</li>
</ul>
<p>EPR alone will not create a circular economy. But it can create the stable funding and market conditions needed to build one.</p>
<p>The objective is not to charge consumers more for the same ‘disposable’ economy, driven by cheap poor-quality products, and the polluter producers getting away without paying… rubbish in, rubbish out.</p>
<p>It is to create a better, value-for-money economy &#8211; one in which products last and are repairable and recyclable, materials remain valuable, risks are properly managed, and the resulting jobs, skills and investment stay in the UK to help drive the move towards re-industrialisation.</p>
<p>To support the implementation of EPR schemes, <a href="https://www.circularonline.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/ciwm-490-ciwm-epr-toolkit-report-b.pdf">CIWM has produced an EPR ‘toolkit’</a>.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify">The early days of the <a href="https://101blockchains.com/what-is-cryptocurrency/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">cryptocurrency</a> landscape focused a lot on mining as the sole method to generate new cryptocurrencies. Anyone with a standard personal computer could contribute to blockchain protocol security and earn cryptocurrencies as block rewards. You are here to find an introduction to cloud mining contracts explained in easy words because you know that crypto mining has become extremely expensive. The shift from CPUs to GPUs and subsequently to custom ASICs is one of the biggest reasons behind the changing economics of <a href="https://101blockchains.com/cryptocurrency-mining-explained/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">crypto mining</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">You will need multiple ASICs, specialized electrical infrastructure, and complex cooling systems, all of which guzzle money like thirsty man drinks water. Individual miners will find it difficult to cope with high electricity prices, intense heat output, ongoing maintenance, and the noise from their mining rigs. Therefore, cloud mining has emerged as a promising solution for crypto mining without the troubles of owning and maintaining physical hardware. Learning about cloud mining contracts will help you enter the crypto space without spending a fortune.</span></p>
<h2><b>Understanding Cloud Mining Contracts as Explained for Beginners</b></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400"><a href="https://101blockchains.com/cloud-mining/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">Cloud mining</a> is a promising solution to help individuals rent the computational hashing power required for crypto mining. It is a trusted mechanism for mining cryptocurrency without buying or managing the physical hardware infrastructure. On the contrary, you can rent computing power from specialized providers which run large-scale crypto mining operations. The cloud mining user can get a share of the mined rewards on the basis of hash power they purchase.   </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">The best thing about cloud mining is that you don’t have to deal with the biggest challenges in crypto mining.</span></p>
<ul style="text-align: justify">
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">High costs, including the cost of mining equipment and electricity</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Complexity of the technical setup for crypto mining</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Regular maintenance of the physical hardware in mining setup</span></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify">Your search for answers to “What is cloud mining contracts?” will show that they are binding agreements between a user and a cloud mining service provider. The cloud mining contract provides a structure and credibility to cloud mining services, transforming a financially expensive operation into a service-based product. You can use cloud mining contracts effectively by discovering the steps involved in the process of using the contracts.</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">The first step involves the user paying an upfront price or a subscription fee to rent a specific amount of hashing power. The rented hashing power is either measured in Terahashes per second or Gigahashes per second. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">Cloud mining service provider will direct the computational power generated by their ASIC rigs to specific mining pools.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">The rewards minted from the rented hashing power will be credited to the user’s digital wallet directly after deducting operational and maintenance charges.</span></li>

<h2><b>Unraveling the Key Components of Cloud Mining Contracts </b></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">The ideal approach to choose cloud mining contracts requires in-depth understanding of how they work and their core components. As an investor, you have to look beyond the claims of high yields and understand the underlying mechanics of cloud mining contracts. An overview of the main components in cloud mining contracts can help you choose the right ones for your needs.</span></p>
<h3><b>1. Allocated Hashrate</b></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify">The most crucial detail in a cloud mining contract is the hashrate you want to take on lease. It is the volume of computing power that the user wants in their account. You can come across Bitcoin mining contracts that allocate around 100 TH/s for the <a href="https://101blockchains.com/sha-256-algorithm-explained/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">SHA-256 algorithm</a>. On the other hand, an Ethereum Classic contract will require hashing power according to the hashing algorithm.</p>
<h3><b>2. Duration of the Contract </b></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400">One of the most significant aspects that you should keep in mind while buying cloud mining contracts is the duration. </span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">You can choose fixed-term contracts that terminate after the specified duration, irrespective of market condition or equipment health. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Lifetime contracts can run indefinitely as long as the mining rewards are more than the daily operation expenses. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Short-term or flexible contracts involve users leasing out hashing power for hours or some days according to market prices.</span></li>
</ul>
<h3>3. <b>Cost of Operations and Maintenance </b></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">Commercial crypto mining operations impose the burden of continuous expenses on power consumption, maintenance, technical labor, cooling systems, and facility security. Cloud mining service providers pass on these costs to the users through daily maintenance fees. In most cases, the maintenance fee is a fixed amount for each unit of hashrate leased by the user. The cloud mining service provider deducts the maintenance fee from your daily gross earnings before distributing the rewards.</span></p>
<h3><b>4. Model for Reward Distribution</b></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify">The next important factor you will find in the best cloud mining contracts is a clear payout distribution model. Cloud mining contracts should clearly specify how the provider will credit rewards to your wallet. In addition, they must also give information about the minimum balance required to withdraw your rewards. You will find three common reward distribution models in cloud mining contracts and choose one that fits your needs.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h4><b>Full Pay-Per-Share</b></h4>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">The Full Pay-Per-Share model involves paying out the fixed block reward along with network transaction fees, thereby offering predictable payouts.</span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<h4><b>Pay-Per-Last-N-Shares</b></h4>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">The Pay-Per-Last-N-Shares is a unique reward distribution model that focuses on the shares submitted in a specific time window before discovery of a block. With a proportional reward model, you can add the element of variance depending on performance of different mining pools.</span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<h4><b>Pay-Per-Share</b></h4>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">The Pay-Per-Share model calls for paying a flat rate for each valid share, without including shares in the transaction fee.</span></p>

<h3><b>Identifying the Benefits and Challenges of Cloud Mining Contracts</b></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">The biggest reasons for which cloud mining contracts have gained huge popularity revolve around their benefits. Cloud mining contracts make crypto mining more accessible by delivering benefits, such as,</span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<h4><b>Minimal Technical Overhead</b></h4>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">One of the prominent advantages of cloud mining contracts is the reduced dependence on hardware assembly, network tuning, and heat and noise management. </span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<h4><b>Scalability </b></h4>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">Users can invest in cloud mining contracts according to their needs and lease more hashing power when required, without dedicated space or upgrades in electrical capacity.</span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<h4><b>Faster Deployment</b></h4>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify">The most notable highlight in guides to cloud mining contracts explained for beginners is the assurance of instant deployment. You can begin mining operations immediately after purchasing a cloud mining contract and don’t have to wait for months.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">While cloud mining contracts offer many benefits, it is also important to keep an eye on their limitations. </span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<h4><b>Fraudulent Service Providers</b></h4>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">Cloud mining has become a huge target for many malicious actors who run fraudulent cloud mining contract platforms. These fraud platforms don’t have any physical hardware and use only the incoming user funds to pay early rewards. Once they gain your confidence and rake in huge investments, the platform owners can vanish in thin air.</span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<h4><b>Outdated Hardware</b></h4>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">Long-term cloud mining contracts may turn obsolete in the long run when next-generation hardware enters the market. You will be losing more than you earn in crypto mining with such contracts as you will be stuck with obsolete hardware.</span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<h4><b>Maintenance Fee Trap</b></h4>

<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">Market downturns can lead to situations where falling crypto prices and daily maintenance fees can eat away at your profit margins. As a result, your cloud mining contract rewards may hit zero, and the service provider can cancel the contract.</span></p>
<h3><b>Final Thoughts </b></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify">Cloud mining contracts offer an effective solution to remove the barriers to entry in <a href="https://101blockchains.com/cryptocurrency-mining-explained/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">crypto mining</a>. With the help of cloud mining contracts, you can rent computational power from specialized service providers and run mining operations. The best cloud mining contracts help you avoid the costs of mining equipment, maintenance, and electricity at a nominal price, depending on the contract model you choose. However, cloud mining contracts also have some limitations, and you must keep them in mind to make the right choice.</p>

<h4 data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Fifteen designers have developed concepts to tackle vape fires, improve battery recovery and reduce product waste through a pilot programme funded by the Chartered Institution of Wastes Management (CIWM).</h4>
<p>The Design Skills for Embedding Circularity programme paired designers with waste and resource specialists, before challenging them to apply their learning to problems set by Biffa and Decathlon.</p>
<p>A six-week design sprint, which ended in mid-July, produced proposals ranging from products designed for easier recycling to a digital platform connecting designers with waste management professionals.</p>
<p>Biffa’s briefs focused on fire risks from discarded vapes and the recovery of valuable components, particularly lithium batteries, from small electronic devices. Decathlon’s challenges covered festival tent waste, tennis ball waste and packaging for buy-back and resale schemes.</p>
<p>Among the participants, Jess Wright of Imperial Brands worked with Biffa on consumer research exploring how to encourage correct vape disposal and prevent fires. Designability’s Pippa Bridges investigated how product redesign could make batteries easier to detect and remove during waste recovery.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>A circular economy depends on bridging the gap between front-end product design and end-of-life resource recovery</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Abby Brazier developed a toothbrush design intended to prevent it being lost through holes in industrial sorting equipment. Jonathan Irawan proposed Mobius, a digital platform that would use real-world data to help designers and waste professionals exchange information and better understand material flows.</p>
<p>Pearson &amp; Lloyd’s Luke Pearson and Rory Mullins explored local, decentralised waste systems, including the use of responsive 3D-printed products to meet community and environmental needs.</p>
<p>“A circular economy depends on bridging the gap between front-end product design and end-of-life resource recovery,” said Richard Hudson, CIWM’s technical manager and project lead for the programme.</p>
<p>“By putting professional designers directly onto facility floors alongside our sector&#8217;s waste and resource experts, this pilot has demonstrated the power of cross-sector collaboration.”</p>
<p>The wider pilot involved CIWM, URGE Collective, the Design Council, WRAP and CEI. Since January, participants had visited recycling plants, a paper mill, an energy-from-waste facility, landfill sites and reuse and remanufacturing operations, guided by circular economy specialist Sophie Thomas.</p>
<p>An accompanying online programme, curated by designer and impact strategist Alexie Sommer, covered topics including material innovation, recycling technology, circular business models and consumer behaviour.</p>
<p>URGE Collective is seeking funding partners for future editions of the programme.</p>
<p>Findings will be shared at an invitation-only symposium at the Design Museum in London on 12 November 2026.</p>

<h4 data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Zero Waste Scotland is set to join NatureScot and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) in a new national environment body under plans announced in the Scottish Government’s <a href="https://www.gov.scot/publications/programme-government-2026-2031/pages/5/">Programme for Government</a>.</h4>
<p>Scottish Forestry could also become part of the organisation, which is intended to combine the expertise and key functions of the existing bodies while removing barriers and improving the impact of Scotland’s environmental work.</p>
<p>Consultation and stakeholder engagement are expected to begin in the autumn. The Scottish Government has indicated that the new body could be ready to begin operating by 2029.</p>
<p>In a message to stakeholders, Zero Waste Scotland said it supported the ambition to improve outcomes for people, nature and the economy and would play an active role in shaping the new organisation.</p>
<p>It also sought to reassure partners that its existing programmes would continue during the transition.</p>
<p>Chief executive Ciaran McGuigan said work continues &#8220;at pace&#8221; and with the full support of the Scottish Government.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I can assure all who support our collaborative work to build the circular economy that this work continues at pace and with the full support of the Scottish Government.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>He said: &#8220;Zero Waste Scotland recognises and supports the principle of Public Service Reform in Scotland. We support the emphasis placed by the Scottish Government on delivering even better outcomes for the people of Scotland and we will continue to play our part in building the more circular economy that we know contributes to the future economic and environmental health of the nation.  </p>
<p>&#8220;While the work of consulting on and then creating the new body will develop over the coming year or so, I can assure all who support our collaborative work to build the circular economy that this work continues at pace and with the full support of the Scottish Government.” </p>
<p>Zero Waste Scotland has operated under that name since 2010, initially as the Scottish Government’s single zero-waste delivery programme managed by the UK-wide Waste and Resources Action Programme. It became an <a href="https://www.gov.scot/publications/foi-202000015871/">independent, not-for-profit organisation in 2014</a> and an executive non-departmental public body in 2024.</p>
<p>Today, it is Scotland’s dedicated circular-economy public body. It works with government, businesses, local authorities and communities to reduce the consumption of natural resources, prevent waste and keep products and materials in use for longer.</p>
<p>Its work includes producing research and evidence, advising ministers, bringing organisations together and supporting practical action on resource efficiency, reuse, recycling and behaviour change.</p>
<p>The organisation plays a central role in delivering Scotland’s wider circular-economy ambitions. The Scottish Government’s <a href="https://www.gov.scot/publications/scotlands-circular-economy-waste-route-map-2030/">Circular Economy and Waste Route Map to 2030</a> contains 11 priority actions covering waste reduction and reuse, recycling reform, lower-carbon waste disposal and measures to strengthen the circular economy.</p>
<p>A separate <a href="https://www.gov.scot/publications/circular-economy-strategy-scotland/">Circular Economy Strategy for Scotland</a>, published in March 2026, sets out a longer-term vision to 2045. It aims to move Scotland away from a “take, make and dispose” economy and initially focuses on the built environment, energy infrastructure, textiles, transport and food.</p>
<p>The strategy and route map are underpinned by the Circular Economy (Scotland) Act 2024, which provides powers to establish national targets and introduce further measures covering recycling, waste prevention and the sustainable use of materials.</p>
<p>Zero Waste Scotland said its focus throughout the reform process would remain firmly on delivering that transition.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify">The first thing that comes to mind when you think about <a href="https://101blockchains.com/six-figure-salary-as-blockchain-developer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">blockchain jobs is the six-figure salary</a>. However, any beginner searching for blockchain jobs with no experience is likely to end up with disappointment when they look at most of the blockchain job descriptions. You will have a hard time understanding how an ‘entry-level’ role requires at least five years of professional Web3 experience.</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify">
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">The blockchain job market introduced almost 66,500 new crypto jobs in 2025, which is 47% higher from the previous year. (</span><a href="https://reports.tiger-research.com/p/h1-2026-global-crypto-hiring-market-eng" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow external noreferrer" data-wpel-link="external"><span style="font-weight: 400">Source</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">) </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">As of 2025, the global blockchain industry has employed around 1.6 million professionals in various sectors. (</span><a href="https://coinlaw.io/crypto-industry-employment-statistics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow external noreferrer" data-wpel-link="external"><span style="font-weight: 400">Source</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">) </span></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">Even with the massive fluctuations in crypto markets worldwide, the demand for blockchain talent continues growing. Employers not only look for developers and engineers but also experts who understand the broader <a href="https://101blockchains.com/blockchain-technology-explained/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">blockchain</a> space and can contribute valuable outcomes to their blockchain and <a href="https://101blockchains.com/top-web3-projects/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">Web3 projects</a>. You can get a job in the blockchain space without any prior experience when you know what you have to do and what to avoid.</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Build your identity as a certified blockchain expert with 101 Blockchains’ <a href="https://101blockchains.com/certifications/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">Blockchain Certifications</a> designed to provide enhanced career prospects.</p>
</blockquote>
<h2><b>General Approach to Finding Blockchain Jobs with No Experience </b></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">Many people who want blockchain jobs start by spending months reading about cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. The candidates then take online <a href="https://101blockchains.com/academy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">courses and certifications</a> to prove their capabilities for different blockchain jobs. Subsequently, candidates update their resume with phrases like “interested in blockchain” or “blockchain and crypto enthusiast”. However, these methods seem to have little impact when the candidates get zero responses for job applications. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify">Anyone trying to find how to get a job in crypto with no experience must know that hundreds of people are trying to follow the general approach. It is important to understand that reading about crypto does not mean that you are eligible to work on <a href="https://101blockchains.com/top-crypto-projects/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">crypto projects</a>. On top of it, applying for multiple jobs on job boards lands you up in the middle of intense competition.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">You should remember that companies want <a href="https://101blockchains.com/blockchain-expert/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">blockchain experts</a> who can do the job and not people who can learn on the job. Employers look for specific things in candidates who apply for blockchain jobs to find the ideal candidate for specific roles.</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">The candidate’s resume must show a list of specific and transferable skills that can deliver clear results.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">Your cover letter should outline the projects that you have worked on in the blockchain and crypto space.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">Candidates can also build a strong portfolio with a list of public and open-source projects where they demonstrated their skills.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">The GitHub of a candidate serves as verifiable proof of their active contributions in projects under development.</span></li>
</ul>

<h3><b>Understanding the Significance of a Strong Portfolio</b></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">If you are preparing for blockchain jobs without any prior experience, then you are might be focusing on creating CVs. Many candidates believe that an appealing CV is the best way to attract the attention of employers. However, shifting the focus towards building a strong portfolio can make a huge difference. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify">Professionals working in <a href="https://101blockchains.com/remote-cryptocurrency-jobs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">crypto jobs remote</a> no experience roles don’t wait for employers to give them a chance. On the contrary, they created their own reputation by participating and contributing to real-world projects before anyone hired them. The essential tricks to create a portfolio that can help you land blockchain jobs without any experience can offer significant benefits for your career.</p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">Always choose a specific area where you want to work in, such as development, content, design, or analysis.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">Participate in public projects, whether it is a new <a href="https://101blockchains.com/smart-contracts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">smart contract</a> or analysis of codebase. </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">Gain experience in using crypto products as it will empower you with technical acumen.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">Share your work across different platforms, including Twitter, Medium, and GitHub.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">Look for opportunities to engage with the blockchain and crypto community on Discord and across different forums and events.</span></li>
</ul>
<h3><b>Unraveling the Best Practices to Stand Out in a Crowded Job Market</b></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify">The competition for blockchain jobs is growing at an unprecedented pace and you can see it clearly in the number of applicants for crypto jobs. As the market grows more saturated, it is difficult for people without any experience to find blockchain jobs. You need to stand out from the crowd, even for entry level blockchain jobs, by following the best practices suggested by experts.</p>
<h4><b>1. Maintain Specificity in Your Resume </b></h4>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">If you take a look at most of the candidate resumes for blockchain jobs, you will find generic descriptions. Employers know that they are hiring for the <a href="https://101blockchains.com/blockchain-developer-role/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">role of a blockchain developer</a> or analyst and don’t want candidates looking for “opportunities”. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">You can grab the attention of a recruiter by mentioning specific details about your blockchain expertise. Candidates can point out that they are fluent in Solidity development, know the <a href="https://101blockchains.com/top-defi-security-best-practices/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">best practices for DeFi security</a>, and have <a href="https://101blockchains.com/deploy-smart-contract/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">deployed smart contracts</a>. Providing specific details makes it difficult for employers to forget your application and increases your chances of securing the job.</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Create new, high-level, innovative blockchain solutions for different industries as a highly-skilled blockchain developer with a <a href="https://101blockchains.com/career/blockchain-developer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">Blockchain Developer Career Path</a>.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><b>2. Build Your Skills and Portfolio in Public</b></h4>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">One of the unique things that beginners should try to find blockchain jobs without any experience is to share their journey in public. Posting small achievements on Twitter or social media and forums alongside maintaining documentation of your learning journey can change your career trajectory.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">Sharing your progress in public will help in building your reputation as you learn new skills and also creates accountability. It will also prove that you are a good communicator and know how to present your views, which is a valuable skill in any professional. Most important of all, your public image as a blockchain expert will also attract opportunities you never knew existed.</span></p>
<h4><b>3. Work on Real-World Projects</b></h4>
<p style="text-align: justify">Building another generic smart contract or NFT project may sound like the best choice for your portfolio. However, finding blockchain jobs with no experience requires expertise in solving problems in the real-world. You should showcase your ability to solve a problem that you have personally experienced.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">Candidates can build a tool to estimate gas fees or write a comprehensive guide on bridging assets between blockchain networks. When you show that you know how to solve real problems, you convince the employers that you bring real value to the table.</span></p>
<h4><b>4. Contribute to Existing Projects</b></h4>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">Beginners preparing for blockchain jobs without any experience may think that building a new project from scratch is extremely difficult. It is important to know that you don’t have to build from zero to showcase your blockchain expertise. You can try many other things, such as,</span></p>
<ul style="text-align: justify">
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Fixing bugs in open-source projects</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Improving the documentation for <a href="https://101blockchains.com/top-blockchain-protocols/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">blockchain protocols</a></span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Designing better UX for existing apps</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Creating tutorials for existing crypto tools and projects</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Give relevant answers to questions on Discord and other online forums</span></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">The efforts you invest in existing projects will enhance your hands-on experience and credibility. You can also build connections with the team behind the existing projects and expand your professional network. As a matter of fact, the references from the team can show that you have genuinely contributed to the project.</span></p>
<h4><b>5. Focus on Niches and Maintain Consistency</b></h4>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">Candidates looking for blockchain jobs with zero experience often make the mistake of ignoring the importance of choosing a niche. If you say that you are interested in DeFi, NFTs, metaverse, and <a href="https://101blockchains.com/decentralized-autonomous-organization-dao/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">DAOs</a>, the recruiter cannot decide which role will be the best for you. With a specific niche, you can prove that you are not another generalist who knows little about everything.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">As you pursue your favorite blockchain jobs as a beginner, it may be difficult to maintain the same consistency throughout. Therefore, you should always look for steady progress in your learning journey and build your skills one week at a time. </span></p>
<h3><b>Final Thoughts</b></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify">Every candidate who wants to know how to get a job in crypto with no experience must understand that the experience does not come only from a job. You have to show proof that you can do the job and get things done rather than telling employers that you know things. Beginners can start with <a href="https://101blockchains.com/academy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">online courses and certifications</a>, followed by picking a specific niche and participating in real-world projects to gain experience. Choose the right platform for blockchain training, and you will find the fastest path to your favorite blockchain job now.</p>

<h4><img loading="lazy" data-recalc-dims="1" class="size-full wp-image-613973 alignleft lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" alt="" width="860" height="516" data-src="http://mycrochettips.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/iStock-1012733324.png"></h4>
<h4>ScottishPower has reported a 99.9% combined reuse and recycling rate for materials from the decommissioning of the original Hagshaw Hill wind farm in South Lanarkshire.</h4>
<p>According to the company, a <a href="https://www.scottishpower.com/w/a-second-wind-for-jobs-and-growth">report compiled by Mott MacDonald</a> found that 79.5% of the materials from the site’s 26 turbines and associated components were recycled and 20.4% reused.</p>
<p>Mott MacDonald said it reviewed project decommissioning data and interviewed stakeholders. ScottishPower did not publish or link the report, however, and no public copy had been located as of 1 September 2026.</p>
<p>The company’s website announcement does not disclose the total tonnage, whether the percentages were calculated by weight, the material inventory or infrastructure included, or the calculation and classification methods used. It also does not explain the difference between the reported 99.9% and 100%, although <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/business/energy/article/scottishpower-recycles-hagshaw-hill-wind-farm-uk-first-wsp3fmrts">The Times separately reported</a>, attributing the information to ScottishPower, that less than 0.1% of the turbine materials went to landfill.</p>
<p>It remains unclear from the published material whether the assessment included foundations, concrete, underground cables, access infrastructure, oils and electrical equipment, or any residues produced during recycling.</p>
<p>The absence of a material breakdown is significant because the chosen boundary can change the result substantially. A <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/lifetime-extension-reuse-and-material-recovery-opportunities-for-onshore-and-offshore-wind-assets">July 2026 government-commissioned study</a> found that concrete was the dominant onshore-wind material when foundations were included. Separately, the government’s <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/onshore-wind-strategy/onshore-wind-taskforce-strategy-accessible-webpage#recycling-and-circular-economy">Onshore Wind Taskforce strategy</a> says the readily recyclable steel tower comprises 70% of a turbine, although it does not state the measurement basis. Composite blades present a greater technical challenge.</p>
<p>A November 2024 <a href="https://offshoredecommissioningconference.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Bill-Firth-European-Metal-Recycling-Ltd.pdf">presentation by European Metal Recycling</a> described a Hagshaw Hill case study covering 24 turbines and 657 tonnes, reporting 97% recycling and 3% reuse. It also referred to 20 major and minor components recovered, but did not define the 657-tonne inventory or state explicitly how the percentages were calculated.</p>
<p>Those figures are not directly comparable with Mott MacDonald’s later 79.5% recycling and 20.4% reuse breakdown. ScottishPower says the latter relates to all 26 turbines and associated components, but its announcement gives no tonnage, material boundary or calculation basis. The EMR presentation also predated the subsequent processing of Hagshaw’s blades. The difference could therefore reflect scope, timing, denominator or classification rather than a change in performance.</p>
<h2><strong>Blades processed in Northern Ireland</strong></h2>
<p>ScottishPower said all the former turbines’ blades were processed by Lurgan-based Plaswire into a polymer intended for construction and engineering applications, including fencing, marker posts and drainage components.</p>
<p>In an <a href="https://plaswire.com/plaswire-partners-with-global-wind-giant-to-recycle-onshore-wind-turbine-farms/">earlier pilot involving Ørsted</a>, rather than the Hagshaw project, Plaswire said blades were cleaned, shredded and granulated before being incorporated into its RX Polymer. The route uses the recovered material in products other than new turbine blades.</p>
<p>The cited releases do not provide the weight of the Hagshaw blades, the process yield, the volume of blade-processing residues or evidence that products containing Hagshaw-derived material have entered the market. ScottishPower said some other turbine components would be reused for industry training.</p>
<p>Hagshaw Hill began operating in 1995 and is identified by ScottishPower as Scotland’s first commercial onshore wind farm. Its original 26 turbines were dismantled in 2023 and replaced with 14 turbines providing more than 79MW of capacity, commonly rounded to 80MW.</p>
<p>ScottishPower said at least 10 companies in Scotland and elsewhere in the UK received contracts connected with the decommissioning. It previously reported that <a href="https://www.scottishpower.com/w/scotland_s_first_commercial_windfarm_has_been_supercharged_to_deliver_more_clean_energy">more than 100 jobs were supported</a> across the combined decommissioning and repowering programme, rather than recycling alone.</p>
<p>Plaswire chief executive Andrew Billingsley said the company’s output was 50% higher this year after growing by 30% in the previous year, and that it expected to double its workforce over the next 12 months. The ScottishPower announcement gave neither current production tonnage nor current headcount, so the absolute scale of the proposed expansion cannot be determined from it.</p>
<p>The potential market is growing. The Onshore Wind Taskforce strategy predicts that decommissioning will peak in the late 2020s and throughout the 2030s at approximately 0.5GW to 1GW of capacity annually, with most of it in Scotland. ScottishPower separately said around 1GW of turbines in its own portfolio was due to be taken down over the coming decade.</p>
<p>The July 2026 government-commissioned study concluded that reuse and refurbishment generally retain more value than material recycling, while refurbishment offers the strongest employment benefits. It also identified limited UK recycling and processing infrastructure and weak business cases for some material streams as constraints on developing domestic capacity.</p>
<p>Publication of the Mott MacDonald report, including its material inventory, boundaries and calculation method, would allow the Hagshaw result to be assessed against those wider challenges.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify">Trusting cryptocurrencies is probably one of the hardest challenges for anyone, especially with instances of scams and fraud making headlines. The good news for the <a href="https://101blockchains.com/what-is-cryptocurrency/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">crypto</a> landscape comes with introduction of <a href="https://101blockchains.com/iso-20022-explained/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">ISO 20022</a>, a new standard for electronic communication between financial institutions. As the discussions about impact of ISO 20022 on crypto adoption continue to gain limelight, it is more important than ever to learn about ISO 20022.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">The global financial system will go through a major messaging upgrade as ISO 20022 makes conventional financial messaging formats obsolete. With the growing adoption of ISO 20022 across central banks, cross-border payment networks, and commercial lenders, the crypto landscape must also prepare for some massive changes. The biggest question for cryptocurrency revolves around whether ISO 20022 will drive <a href="https://101blockchains.com/cryptocurrency-adoption-in-developing-nations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">cryptocurrency adoption</a> and how it will achieve the same.    </span></p>
<h2><b>Identifying the Fundamental Highlights of ISO 20022</b></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify">Many people must be familiar with the International Organization for Standardization, or ISO, as the authority who sets quality standards for various products. ISO 20022 has emerged as the latest global standard for financial messaging and data exchange between financial institutions. The relationship between ISO 20022 and crypto is evident in the fact that the standard will offer a framework for <a href="https://101blockchains.com/top-crypto-projects/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">crypto projects</a>, <a href="https://101blockchains.com/top-cryptocurrency-exchanges/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">crypto exchanges</a>, and stablecoins to connect with traditional financial systems.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">One of the distinctive aspects of ISO 20022 is that it leverages XML and JSON schemas to provide a definitive structure to transaction data exchanged between banks, financial market infrastructures, and payment processors. It will introduce a major paradigm shift from the unstructured formats and rigid caps on messaging types. The old financial messaging standards and formats removed crucial information, including party names, addresses, and purpose of transactions. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">The limitations of legacy financial messaging formats created the need for costly manual reviews, introduced compliance risks, and resulted in transaction delays. ISO 20022 aims to overcome these barriers with rich data messaging formats that can include granular details in transaction data. The standard requires addition of,</span></p>
<ul style="text-align: justify">
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Complete identity details of the sender and beneficiary of transactions</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Unique end-to-end transaction references </span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Compliance data for anti-money laundering and sanctions screening</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400"><span style="font-weight: 400">Specific regulatory purposes and invoice details with tax identifiers</span></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">The ISO 20022 standard also played a vital role in unification of high-value RTGS systems worldwide. As a result, it has successfully achieved a single common language for global financial transactions.</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Step into the future of finance—become a <a href="https://101blockchains.com/certification/certified-digital-asset-compliance-expert/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">Certified Digital Asset Compliance Expert (CDACE)<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" alt="&#x2122;" class="wp-smiley lazyload" style="height: 1em;max-height: 1em" data-src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2122.png"></a> and lead with confidence in crypto compliance, auditing, and governance.</p>
</blockquote>
<h3><b>Unraveling the Myth behind ISO 20022 and Crypto Adoption</b></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify">You may have assumed that implementation of ISO 20022 will bring a list of ‘compliant’ crypto coins to mainstream finance. However, your search for <a href="https://101blockchains.com/iso-20022-compliant-crypto-list/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">ISO 20022 crypto coins list</a> must begin only after clearing a major misconception. It is important to remember that ISO does not provide official certification or approval for individual cryptocurrencies. If a crypto project claims that their token is ISO 20022 compliant, then it may have different meanings.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h4><b>Standardization Working Groups</b></h4>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">The ISO 20022 mark may mean that organizations associated with the crypto project are active participants in ISO financial standards working groups.</span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<h4><b>Enterprise Integration Layers</b></h4>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">The ISO 20022 standard can also suggest that the payment network around a crypto project supports the messaging format natively or through different API gateways.</span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<h4><b>Data Payload Compatibility</b></h4>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">Another notable implication of the ISO 20022 standard is that the state machine and transaction metadata fields can naturally accept structured XML and JSON payloads without modifications in the underlying protocols.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">ISO 20022 does not offer an approval system for crypto projects and serves as a communication standard for messages between crypto projects and financial institutions. Compliance with the standard ensures that a crypto project can interact with banks in the native language of the bank.</span></p>

</blockquote>
<h3><b>How Will ISO 20022 Drive Crypto Adoption Higher?</b></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify">Readers might have believed that ISO 20022 will not have any impact on crypto adoption as it is just a messaging standard. However, you must also know that ISO 20022 adoption will boost crypto adoption by resolving challenges with institutional utility, interoperability, and compliance.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h4><b>Opening New Doors for Institutional Capital</b></h4>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">Many major financial institutions stayed away from public blockchain networks when it came to cross-border liquidity. The biggest problems emerged during translation of legacy banking instructions to custom <a href="https://101blockchains.com/blockchain-technology-explained/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">blockchain</a> payloads, which demanded specialized infrastructure.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">With the ISO 20022 standard, banks will not have to worry about this operational overhead. If the core system of a bank generates a payment message, then ISO 20022 compliant crypto gateways can accept the message directly. Subsequently, the crypto gateway can verify the essential parameters and trigger transaction settlement with on-chain bridge assets or stablecoins.</span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<h4><b>Faster Adoption of CBDCs and Tokenized Assets</b></h4>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400"><a href="https://101blockchains.com/cbdcs-for-crypto/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">Central Bank Digital Currencies or CBDCs</a> and tokenized <a href="https://101blockchains.com/real-world-assets-rwa-in-crypto/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">real-world assets or RWAs</a> have become the most prominent assets in the crypto landscape. The most interesting thing about these crypto assets is that their design aligns perfectly with existing banking infrastructure. As a matter of fact, many central bank trial projects have adopted ISO 20022 messaging formats to make the best use of these assets.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">Blockchain protocols that follow the ISO 20022 standards can work as the best picks for settlement layers or bridges for these new institutional <a href="https://101blockchains.com/enterprise-digital-assets/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">digital assets</a>. The seamless interaction of CBDCs and tokenized assets in mainstream finance will create more trust in crypto adoption.</span></p>

</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>
<h4><b>Addressing the Regulatory Hurdles for Crypto Adoption</b></h4>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">The Financial Action Task Force or FATF ‘Travel Rule’ is one of the biggest obstacles to large-scale institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies. It states that financial institutions must share the details of sender and receivers of wire transfers that cross specific thresholds. The ISO 20022 standard calls for mandatory inclusion of structured fields for including party information. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify">Crypto payment providers and exchanges can capitalize on ISO 20022 for crypto adoption by building natively around the ISO schemas. The standard will ensure that all regulatory formalities become automated and don’t require manual efforts. On top of it, the structured transparency helps legal and compliance teams in verifying crypto-backed settlement products.</p>
<h3><b>Understanding the Primary Tradeoffs with ISO 20022</b></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">The advantages of ISO 20022 for large-scale adoption of cryptocurrencies revolve predominantly around boosting enterprise utility of cryptocurrencies. However, the adoption of ISO 20022 also brings some formidable challenges in the broader crypto landscape. One of the foremost tradeoffs with ISO 20022 is clearly visible in the decentralization dilemma. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">The original principles of public blockchain networks focused heavily on censorship resistance, freedom from centralized control, and peer-to-peer transactions. The design of ISO 20022 aligns more closely with regulated, permissioned or semi-permissioned and centralized financial institutions. As a result, the standard stands in direct conflict with the fundamental ethos of the crypto space.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">You will notice that ISO 20022 demands detailed party identification in payment details, thereby revealing identities. On top of it, <a href="https://101blockchains.com/best-decentralized-exchanges/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">decentralized exchanges</a> and automated market makers cannot collect valid ISO metadata without introducing centralized gatekeepers. </span></p>
<h3><b>Final Thoughts </b></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify"><span style="font-weight: 400">The effect of ISO 20022 on adoption of cryptocurrencies will focus primarily on institutional adoption. As a result, stablecoin issuers, tokenized asset platforms and enterprise-centric crypto projects will achieve more growth in adoption rates. ISO 20022 will provide a standardized global language for connecting the crypto landscape with mainstream financial services. It reduces the barriers for global banks to adopt crypto networks for cross-border payments, liquidity management and foreign exchange settlement. The ISO 20022 standard will provide the infrastructure required to change a speculative asset group into an integral component of global finance.
