A new life for resources and for the territory – Ateneo
The circular economy is much more than recycling. Is a model that bet on rethink how we produce, consume and reuseending the linear system of “producing, using and throwing”. From the Social and Solidarity Economy (ESS), this vision fits perfectly with values such as sustainability, resource efficiency, environmental care and collective responsibility.
Many cooperatives and initiatives in the territory are already working with circular economy criteria: they reuse materials, recover discarded foods, extend the life of objects or create return and repair systems. These practices not only reduce environmental impact, but also generate local employment, promote more responsible habits and strengthen the community.
In the Baix Llobregat we find inspirational examples such as collective repair workshops, reused clothing cooperatives, community composting projects or exchange markets promoted by ESS entities. These initiatives show that the circular economy It’s not a utopiabut a reality in construction promoted by organized civil society.
It Circle of sustainability From the Ateneu Cooperativa gives visibility to these practices, it creates spaces for connection between projects and promotes the creation of new regenerative economic models. In a densely populated and industrialized territory like bass, it is essential to think of the future from another look. And here, cooperativism has a lot to say.
