Circular procurement strategies are essential for transitioning from our current “linear economy”, in which raw materials are extracted and ultimately disposed of as waste, into a “circular economy” in which materials are continuously cycled into new products and services, eliminating waste and creating new jobs in the process. In this interactive session geared towards public sector organizations, you’ll learn how to create awareness about circular procurement in your own organization, explore examples of circular procurement within your own firsthand experience, hear about common pitfalls to avoid, and see the kinds of impact circular procurement can have.
