Circular Economy in Morocco: A Model for MENA Resilience 

Morocco is quickly becoming a reference point for circular economy leadership in the MENA region—with bold policies, sectoral innovation, and a deep commitment to sustainability.

The country’s circular transformation is driven by its need to optimize limited resources, strengthen energy security, and create green jobs—while accelerating its transition to a low-carbon economy.

Key signs of circular maturity in Morocco:

  • Household waste used as fuel in cement production across major cities
  • Expansion of waste collection and sorting cooperatives to formalize the informal sector
  • Integration of circularity in national water and energy strategies
  • Rise of eco-design and sustainable product innovation in local industries
  • Morocco’s leadership in hosting circular policy dialogues and international partnerships

Morocco’s success is rooted in a whole-of-society approach: strong government frameworks, active civil society, and private sector engagement. It’s not just adopting circular practices—it’s embedding them into the economic model.

At CEI, we support such progress through:

Circular maturity assessments

Cross-sector benchmarking

Policy advisory and KPI frameworks

Customized capacity building
