The new waste law introduces significant changes to reduce waste generation and promote recycling, aligning with the principles of the circular economy. Below, we briefly summarize what it entails, how it impacts each municipality, and, in particular, the solutions Citisend offers regarding its implementation. Cambios en la nueva ley de residuos: hacia una economía circular
The implementation of the new waste law aims to advance toward a circular economy. Its purpose is to prevent and reduce the generation of waste and the adverse impacts of its production and management, minimize the global impact of resource use, and improve the efficiency of resource utilization. Ultimately, the law seeks to protect the environment and human health, facilitating the transition to a circular economy to ensure the efficient functioning of the internal market and Spain’s long-term competitiveness.
In addition to aiming for increased recycling, it introduces the mandatory implementation of new separate collection systems for items such as bio-waste or organic matter, textiles, used cooking oils, hazardous waste, and bulky waste.
