CIRCULAR ECONOMY
WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON CLOSING THE CIRCLE

The circular economy represents an opportunity to change our production and consumption model and to have significant impact on the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement.

The transition towards a
circular economy demands
the introduction of profound
transformations.

Sacyr, as a member company of the Spanish Green Growth Group (SGGG), has participated in the publication “34 Examples of Green Economy”.

The project presented by Sacyr Water “Sustainable desalination for green growth” presents how the contribution of non-conventional resources, such as desalination may mitigate the effects of climate change on water storage.
