Various Spanish port authorities are implementing programs to promote a circular economy through waste management and recycling.

In Berbés, the Port Authority has launched a tender for a contract to manage the collection, transport, and processing of organic marine products and byproducts. The initiative, valued at approximately 100,000 euros annually, aims to repurpose marine waste for uses such as animal feed, composting, or recycling.

Similarly, the Port de Barcelona has introduced the DELTA initiative via the BCN Port Innovation Foundation. This project focuses on transforming plastic waste from more than 40 port companies into raw materials for industrial processes, seeking to connect waste generators with companies capable of reintegrating these materials into production cycles.
