Project description
On March 10, 2023, the Circular Economy Strategy 2030 of the Principality of Asturias is approved together with its Action Plan 2023–2030. In this context, Símbiosy develops the Strategic Plan for Circular Economy on the initiative of the Vice-Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, in collaboration with Cogersa.
The project starts from an initial diagnosis of the territory, based on the mapping of resource flows, with the aim of identifying the priority resources and sectors on which the circular economy can generate a greater environmental, economic, and social impact.
The main objectives of the strategy are:
- Increase efficiency in the use, transformation, and obtaining of resources.
- Valorize waste and promote the obtaining of secondary raw materials.
- Harness new resources as an alternative energy source.
- Promote the bioeconomy.
- Improve water management in a sustainable way.
Results
- Identification of strategic challenges of the territory based on the diagnosis of resource flows.
- Linking the identified challenges with specific strategic objectives.
- Definition of a strategy structured in 4 main axes.
- Elaboration of the Diagnosis of Circular Economy of the Principality of Asturias.
- Development of the Strategic Plan for Circular Economy 2023–2030, the basis of the approved Action Plan.
To highlight
- Analysis of the agro-urban-industrial metabolism of Asturias, including raw materials, water, energy, and waste.
- Identification of priority resources and sectors with greater potential for improvement through circular economy strategies.
- Comprehensive approach that connects diagnosis, strategy, and action plan.
- Alignment of technical work with regional strategic planning and public sustainability policies.
