A national strategy with a 2030 horizon gives industries something concrete to plan around – Spain Circular 2030 lays out where the country wants its economy to be, sector by sector, within a timeframe that's close enough to demand action now.
The Circular Economy is no longer a fringe concept – it's become the organising principle behind major national strategies, and Spain Circular 2030 is the framework through which Spain is translating that principle into targets and policy.
The strategy sets out objectives around reducing material consumption, increasing recycling rates, and cutting the proportion of waste sent to landfill – framing circularity not as an environmental add-on but as a structural feature of how the economy should function by the end of the decade.
Different sectors are addressed with sector-specific policies – from packaging and textiles to construction and electronics – recognising that the barriers to circularity, and the technologies needed to overcome them, differ significantly from one material stream to another.
The strategy also positions circularity as part of the response to economic recovery – framing investment in recycling infrastructure and circular business models not just as environmental spending, but as a way of building resilience into the economy against future disruptions.
