Murcia is the capital city of the Region of Murcia, an ’autonomous community’ or self-governing región, located in the southeast of Spain, bordering the Mediterranean Sea. Murcia has over 450,000 inhabitants and is a representative city of southern Europe. The current municipal solid waste (MSW) collection system ensures the selective collection of four different fractions: glass, paper & cardboard, light packaging and residual waste. Murcia Municipality generates about 200,000 tonnes per year of mixed waste, including 73,480 tonnes of which is organic. After separation from the residual waste, this organic fraction is turned into compost in the waste treatment plant managed by CESPA-FERROVIAL. Murcia’s Circular Economy Strategy was presented in 2021, complementing its Circular Economy Assessment Report, which was published in 2020.
