Circular Procurement Workshops
Activate the Circular Economy
To transition and realize the benefits of the circualr economy, we must move past concepts and initiate action. To support public sector organizations and their vendors and suppliers, Circular Innovation Council has developed workshops to build knowledge and develop a roadmap for action.
Public Sector Workshops
Circular procurement workshops offer stakeholders the opportunity to gain knowledge and insight into circular economy concepts, and how to incorporate circular requirements into procurement policies and projects. Through engagement exercises, participants investigate topics that will inform a roadmap to bring back to their organization for further exploration and implementation.
