en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Ministry of Ecological Transition and Energy of the Government of the Canary Islands has made phased progress in revising the Circular Economy Strategy (ECEC) and preparing the 2027-2029 work roadmap, aiming to consolidate circular actions across the islands and adjust planning to align with the priority areas of each island. Key advances in this strategy include the establishment of a Circular Economy Technical Office, the preparation of technical studies, and the promotion of initiatives related to ecodesign, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), and biowaste management.

Progress in the Canary Islands Circular Economy Strategy in biowaste management and ecodesign promotion

Progress made between 2024 and 2026 covers areas such as governance, support for municipalities and biowaste management, circular public procurement, ecodesign promotion, innovation, and data monitoring and transparency. Specific milestones include the establishment of various governance bodies and the Circular Economy Technical Office, the development of tools related to circular public procurement, and the preparation of specialized technical and legal studies. The summary report includes initiatives related to promoting ecodesign, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), and biowaste management. These work lines have been integrated into the transition process towards a model of more efficient resource use and reduced waste generation on the islands.

It is expected that by the end of this year, the execution rate of the 2021-2023 and 2024-2026 Circular Economy Action Plans (PAEC) will reach 60%, with the remaining actions already underway. Work has begun on defining challenges for the 2027-2029 period. This process includes a proposal to modify and update the 2021-2030 Canary Islands Circular Economy Strategy, aiming to simplify its structure and better integrate action lines. The planned update seeks to strengthen a more sector-focused direction and align with the priority value chains identified by the Canary Islands. The upcoming 2027-2029 Action Plan will concentrate some measures on biowaste, plastics and packaging, and construction, areas identified as crucial for advancing a circular economy adapted to the archipelago. A first draft of the new PAEC is expected to be drawn up in the coming months, incorporating input from advisory groups, management teams, and all relevant stakeholders, with plans for it to take effect in January 2027.
