Circular economy: innovation and sustainable growth

At Endesa, we are committed to the circular economy as a way to achieve a new sustainable economic model for preserving available resources while creating economic prosperity.

We think "circular"

The circular economy is a new economic model that makes more efficient use of resources, reducing our consumption and putting reusable resources from waste back into the production process. The objective is to achieve economic development in ways that combine competitiveness and sustainability through innovation. At Endesa, we have made the circular concept part of our culture and all our activities, from the construction of new renewable plants to our relationship with our customers.

The pillars of the circular economy

Our vision for the circular economy is integrated throughout the value chain with a new approach based on the use of sustainable resources (renewable, reusable and recyclable), optimising the useful life of goods and products and finding new uses for assets at the end of their life cycle. This vision is made up of five pillars:

Circular inputs

Use of renewable sources and reused or recycled material resources from the same or another economic sector

Products as a service

A new business model whereby users subscribe to a service rather than purchasing a product, which improves product quality, maintenance and waste management.

New life cycles

This closes the circle for our vision of the five pillars, by proposing solutions that conserve assets and product value when they reach the end of their life by using them in new cycles through reuse, regeneration or recycling.

Our projects

Projects to boost the circular economy

We have submitted a letter of interest to the Ministry of Ecological Transition to develop up to 17 projects in Spain that promote the circular economy and have an associated investment volume of around 3,600 million euros. With these initiatives we want to lead the change of economic model towards the circular economy.

A new life for coal plant equipment

We are applying the circular economy to the process of closing and dismantling our coal plants to prioritise the search for a second life for the equipment and materials and to reduce waste generation as much as possible.
