Circular procurement as a way to address pollution: experiences from ProCirc
The online seminar “Circular procurement as a way to address pollution: experiences from ProCirc” took place 18 May 2021. It touched upon key aspects for the implementation of circular procurement and gathered 47 experts and interested stakeholders. The event started with a presentation of the EU framework for circular procurement, followed by the ProCirc toolbox to facilitate the transition towards circular practices and the introduction of the C-PRONE initiative, a global umbrella for circular procurement. A panel discussion reflected on the challenges and opportunities for circular procurement as a way to address pollution, based on ProCirc partners’ experiences (with representatives from Rijkswaterstaat, Circular Flanders, Zero Waste Scotland, the City of Malmö and the Norwegian Agency for Public and Financial Management).
