The Navarra region in Northern Spain is home to a pioneering initiative aiming at embedding greater circularity across its thriving industries. Known as Navarra Zirkular, the partnership is building a comprehensive one-stop-shop, offering regional businesses support in the transition journey towards circular economy, in terms of visibility, workshops, trainings and access to collaboration between partners.

We spoke to Montse Guerrero, Delia Sola and Legarda Campos from Navarra Zirkular to understand how industrial symbiosis is helping reshape the region’s industrial landscape.

Q: What is the industrial context in your region, and how does industrial symbiosis come into play?

Navarra is a highly industrialised region, with industry contributing more than 30% of the region’s GDP, which is higher than Spain’s national average. We have a mix of small businesses and big companies in key sectors such as automotive, agri-food and renewable energy (including wind turbines and photovoltaic panel production).
