📋 Tender Overview
With the aim of encouraging more institutions to implement the circular economy and sustainability approach in the country.The Ministry of Housing, Construction and Sanitation (MVCS), through the General Directorate of Environmental Affairs (DGAA), will recognize the commitment and environmental performance of the actors in the sector with the Recognition of Circular Practices and Good Environmental Practices in Housing, Urban Planning, Construction and Sanitation.
This tool will promote initiatives related to the efficient use of water and energy, the reuse of treated wastewater, the use of biosolids and other by-products, and the recovery of waste, as well as the implementation of innovative technologies and processes that contribute to reducing the environmental impact of the sectors activities.
The measure, approved by Ministerial Resolution No. 225-2026-VIVIENDA, establishes a voluntary participation mechanism aimed at companies, entities providing sanitation services and other actors in the sector, with the purpose of promoting actions aimed at eco-efficiency, the circular economy and environmental protection.
The standard establishes three categories to recognize actions that contribute to accelerating the transition towards a more sustainable and resilient development model in the country: EcoCircular Practice, which recognizes organizations that already implement eco-efficiency, circularity and good environmental practices measures; EcoCircular Commitment, through the signing of voluntary agreements with concrete implementation goals and actions; and EcoCircular Innovation, which distinguishes organizations that satisfactorily meet the goals established in their EcoCircular Agreements.
These mechanisms allow the consolidation of an ecosystem of non-monetary incentives that promotes continuous improvement, encourages sustainable competitiveness and strengthens the transition towards a more circular development model in the sector.
With this initiative, we continue to strengthen the implementation of the Roadmap towards a Circular Economy in Drinking Water and Sanitation by 2030, promoting the progressive incorporation of circularity principles in housing, urban planning, construction and sanitation activities, stated the Ministry of Housing.
In this way, the Ministry of Housing reaffirms its role as the governing body in matters of housing, urban planning, construction and sanitation, promoting instruments that recognize and scale successful experiences in environmental management, aligned with the countrys sustainability objectives.
