PRESENTATION. ENCIRCULAR report

EnCircular, the circular economy platform of the Valencian Community -promoted by the ADCV, with the support of the AVI-, has carried out the first study on the degree of knowledge and real integration of strategies and actions linked to the circular economy in the business fabric of the Valencian Community. The results allow us to have a real information base on which to define innovation plans and strategies to move towards more sustainable and competitive models. Generating own knowledge linked to the circular economy to reinforce the innovative system of the Valencian Community is one of the strategic objectives of EnCircular, a platform launched in November 2020 by the Association of Designers of the Valencian Community (ADCV), with the support of the Valencian Innovation Agency (AVI).

In this line, the first study on 'The circular economy in the business ecosystem of the Valencian Community' includes a global vision of the circular economy, from the definition of corporate strategies to that of products and services; the supply chain of raw materials, water and energy; the production; the distribution; recycling, repair, reuse and recovery; the involvement of consumers; the role of design in innovation, or the degree of knowledge and use of public support systems for the circular economy. To carry out the research, there has been collaboration with the sustainability experts Elena Galante and Arturo Jiménez and the specialized consultant GfK. The results of the study will be presented at a conference to be held on Thursday, February 17, at 10:30 a.m., at the Las Naves innovation center.
