On November 2013, the Deputy Minister of Business Development,
María del Mar Palau, of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism (MINCIT),
accepted the invitation from the OAS Department of Sustainable Development (DSD)
to participate in the CLCP Program. The Deputy Minister formally communicated
her interest for the project to be implemented in Colombia. She considered that the
CLCP program would strengthen entrepreneurial development in a sustainable
manner, and strengthen the creation of national capacities to replicate the
initiative in other productive sectors.
The Project of Sustainable Production Development towards a
Circular Economy in Colombia, under the framework of the CLCP Program, focuses
on the strengthening, development and application of policies toward the
productive sector that integrate the principles of a circular economy. This
would serve as a business model to be followed in the strategies for the public
and private institutions in
Colombia. This way, Cradle-to-Cradle® (C2C),
and the principles of a Circular Economy will become the basis for the
integration of the sector’s actualized initiatives, plans, programs and
strategies toward the same vision.
The programs, plans, strategies and incentives, such as the
PTP, along with the financial and economic instruments available in the country,
such as Bancoldex and Environmental Credit Line, and others to be available in
the future will facilitate the implementation of the project in the country.
Project Description
Phase I: This
phase involves analysis of the Colombian Productive Sector that goes along with
identifying the country’s necessities and the expectations of local actors. Its
result will allow for the identification of the industrial subsectors in which
to invite companies to host the pilot projects. Additionally, this phase implies
research to find the relevant norms, regulations, programs, initiatives and
financial instruments for the Project.
Phase II: This
stage involves training and education component of the Circular Economy, PCC and
C2C to the different local actors and Colombian businesses of the industrial
sub-sector(s) selected in Phase I.
Phase III:
This phase is the development of the Project to facilitate the transition toward
a Circular Economy in Colombia. It involves grouping the
local tools available to facilitate the transition and motivate the industrial
businesses towards this change.
