Self-Diagnosis of Circular Economy

The Circular Economy Self-Diagnosis is a free online tool provided by the Spanish Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Tourism. It enables companies to assess their level of implementation of circular economy practices. The tool's objective is to help businesses from various sectors understand how they can reduce the environmental impact of their operations and adopt more sustainable and efficient models.

Key features of the tool:

• Sustainability assessment: it examines aspects such as resource use, waste management, and energy efficiency, providing a clear analysis of the environmental impact of the company's activities.
• Process optimisation: it helps identify areas where material consumption can be reduced, products reused, or waste recycled, thereby improving both sustainability and profitability.

At the end of the process, the tool generates a partial report based on the completed sections, along with a final report outlining the SME’s status and degree of adaptation to the circular economy. It also provides recommendations to support the SME's transition towards a circular model.

This tool is particularly beneficial for SMEs as it allows them to understand the current state of their practices and establish an action plan to enhance sustainability. This can aid in complying with environmental regulations and improving competitiveness in markets increasingly focused on sustainability.
