Navarra Zirkular
Navarra Zirkular is the public-private partnership initiative to promote the adoption of circular economy in companies.
Navarra has been working on circular economy since 2007 with various projects and agendas. Since 2016, the 2030 Agenda for circular economy development in Navarra has been an instrument that is implemented through Challenge 7 of the Smart Specialization Strategy of Navarra (S3).
After the transition to the S4 in 2021, which adds sustainability as a transversal priority to the Strategy, Challenge 7 focuses its efforts and brings all stakeholders together under the umbrella of Navarra Zirkular with the aim of facilitating the ecological transition in Navarra companies.
What does circular
economy imply?
Circular economy is an economic model for sustainability that seeks the maximum use of resources and minimum waste generation based on maintaining materials, products and their components within a circular process, through which they can be reintroduced into the value chain once their service life is over. Use replaces consumption and this only occurs in effective cycles.
