Circular Economy in Argentina: Building Resilience from the Ground Up

Argentina is making steady strides toward a more circular economy—leveraging its strong industrial base, community-driven initiatives, and growing policy focus. In the face of economic and environmental challenges, the country is embracing circularity as a path to local resilience, green innovation, and inclusive development.

Key signs of circular maturity in Argentina:

  • Launch of the National Circular Economy Plan aligned with Argentina’s climate goals
  • Municipal-level circular strategies in cities like Buenos Aires, Córdoba, and Rosario
  • Expansion of waste picker cooperatives and integration into formal waste management systems
  • Growth of circular startups in composting, sustainable fashion, and eco-packaging
  • Public-private partnerships in waste-to-energy, industrial symbiosis, and repair hubs
  • Circularity embedded in environmental education and local capacity-building programs

Argentina’s approach is rooted in community empowerment, urban experimentation, and local innovation—focusing on solutions that are scalable, inclusive, and context-aware.
