Pilot Projects of ProCirc
ProCirc was set up to experiment, implement and learn how circular economy and procurement can benefit the North Sea Region. To fully benefit from circular opportunities and to contribute to the international development of circular economy, ProCirc conducted pilots to demonstrate procurement opportunities.Here you can find the pilot case studies and learn all about the procurement process, results and lessons learned. You are welcome to reach out to the contact persons mentioned in the case studies when you have questions or like to connect.
Among the main success factors of the pilot projects are the people behind them: the circular procurement champions. The champions lead the process and inspire you to follow, support, and contribute. Do you want to motivate others and help spread the circular procurement message? You are invited to join our LinkedIn Circular Procurement Learning Network group!
