Puebla’s Circular Economy Park Advances With 1.212 Billion-Peso Plan

The project’s start depends on an environmental impact review that federal experts are now preparing.

Overview

  • Federal and state officials, speaking with residents in San José Chiapa, set mid-2026 for site urbanization and late 2027 for full operations.
  • SEMARNAT’s José Luis Samaniego confirmed a 1,212 million peso budget split into 512 million for urbanization and 700 million for industrial systems.
  • The park is planned to process up to 800 tonnes of waste per day in a facility that replaces the area’s open dump and avoids burying trash.
  • Authorities expect about 700 jobs, including roughly 500 direct roles, with priority for local hiring and room for local firms to set up inside the park.
  • The project still lacks the required environmental impact statement, and INECC is compiling data as officials refine plans to address water and biodiversity concerns.
