With Circular Monday, the regional government aims to use the Monday before Black Friday as a platform for the circular economy. Under the slogan “Black Friday, este lunes te damos la vuelta”, talks and accounts of personal experience are planned in an open format. The programme combines contributions on the circular economy with music and food, to encourage discussion and networking among stakeholders across the archipelago.
The event is organised by the Dirección General de Calidad Ambiental within the Consejería de Transición Ecológica y Energía. According to the government, Circular Monday is part of the Estrategia Canaria de Economía Circular 2021–2030 The aim of this strategy is to build a resilient network of stakeholders around the circular economy, improve resource efficiency and reduce waste.
A sustainability plan has been announced for the event. The organisers are aiming for an approach that generates as little waste as possible. Priorities include preventing and reducing residual waste, reusing materials and using resources efficiently. The aim is for the event not only to explain the benefits of circular models, but also to demonstrate their practical application in event organisation.
Specific programme details, speakers and the full schedule will be made available in advance by the competent authority through its official channels. The authorities emphasise the workshop-style nature of the format, which is intended to foster exchange between businesses, public administrations, academia and civil society on existing experience and new circular approaches in the Canary Islands context.
