The preliminary draft waste law will begin to work on 2 June, with the aim of achieving a law. From July 2021 it will be forbidden to sell many of the plastic tools we currently have: straws, rods, polystyrene cases...

For prepared foods, the sale of covers should be reduced by 50% by 2026, taking as a reference those to be sold in 2022. Sales of these portfolios should be reduced by 70% by 2030.

The law promotes tap water: bars and restaurants have an obligation to provide tap water for free, although they also offer bottled water. Public administrations should minimise the consumption of bottled water at their headquarters. Single-use bottles may be sold in health centres and schools in accordance with the draft bill.

The Circular Economy Strategy aims to reduce 20 million tonnes by 2030

The target is to reduce 20 million tonnes of waste across the state by 2030. The Circular Economy establishes a hierarchy for waste management and the first level is prevention, then reuse, then recycling, then "recovery" (where incineration is also included) and finally landfill. One of the objectives is to recycle 60% of urban waste and reduce by 15% the waste generated by the economy, of the 137 million tonnes accounted for in 2010.

The construction sector is one of the most polluting economic activities in waste: it consumes 40% of the resources and generates 40% of the waste. That is why it is a priority for the Circular Strategy, as well as for industry, tourism and the textile industry.
