What changed
Madrid's Circular Economy Law introduces a comprehensive legal framework to shift the regional economy towards circular production and consumption models that minimise waste generation and maximise reuse and recycling. It sets out administrative competences, planning tools, obligations for businesses and the public sector, and incorporates circular economy criteria into public procurement and education.
Who is affected
Businesses operating in Madrid, public administrations, and citizens are all addressed. Companies, especially those in industry and services, must progressively align their operations with circular economy principles under regional plans.
What to look out for
→ Businesses should monitor the regional circular economy plans that will be published under this law, as these will set specific sectoral targets and obligations. Public entities must integrate circular criteria into procurement processes.
