The autonomous community of Catalonia has initiated a public information and hearing period for the Anteproyecto de ley de residuos (Draft Waste Law). The consultation period runs until 15 October, during which interested parties and stakeholders may submit written comments, suggestions, and proposals regarding the text of the proposed legislation. This public participation process is a standard part of legislative development in Spain and allows for input from producers, waste management operators, environmental organisations, local authorities, and the general public before the law is formally adopted.
