The National Federation of Self-Employed Workers Associations (ATA) and Ecoembes have renewed their collaboration agreement to continue promoting knowledge and implementation of circular economy practices among the self-employed and small businesses in our country, with a focus aimed at improving their competitiveness in an increasingly demanding regulatory and market environment.
The circular economy has been consolidated as a lever to optimize resources, reduce costs, improve operational efficiency and reinforce the business value proposition to clients who are increasingly sensitive to sustainability. However, the size and structure of many small businesses means that they sometimes need guidance, close examples and concrete tools to translate that ambition into real and measurable improvements.
With this renewal, ATA and Ecoembes reinforce a shared commitment: that the transition towards a more circular model is close, practical and accessibleand that helps the self-employed to adapt, compete and grow without being left behind.
For Begoña de Benito, director of External Relations of Ecoembesthis renewal “reinforces our commitment to an essential group for the local economy. Sustainability is no longer an ‘extra’: it is a lever for competitiveness. Our goal is to accompany self-employed workers and small businesses with tools and practical knowledge so that the circular economy translates into efficiency, compliance and real opportunities for improvement.”
For his part, Lorenzo Amor, president of ATA, has indicated that “Self-employed people live with administrative uncertainty. It is essential to have access to updated and verified information on regulations as important, economically and socially speaking, as those that regulate the management of packaging, waste and everything that applies to the circular economy. We renew this agreement as essential and practical and reiterate our commitment to the future of all”.
An agreement to bring the circular economy closer to small businesses
The renewal of the agreement between ATA and Ecoembes will allow us to continue promoting initiatives aimed at offering practical content and applicable examples on the circular economy in the small business environment, as well as strengthening access to tools and guidance to improve efficiency and regulatory adaptation.
The circular economy has become a reference framework for many companies, especially SMEswhat are they looking for optimize resources, improve their efficiency and respond to an increasingly demanding market environment. However, the size and structure of many small and medium-sized companies means that they sometimes need guidance, close examples and concrete tools to transform that ambition into real measures.
