Circularity, Guidance
This guide is designed to support municipal staff who work in procurement and related functions. It summarizes key goals and strategies in circular procurement, aligned with the three phases of the procurement process: pre-purchase, purchase and post-purchase. The guide also explores five circular business models: sharing platform, product as service, product life extension, circular supplies, and resource recovery. These models show how to encourage supplier innovation and assist buyers and suppliers in developing and responding to outcomes-based circular criteria for both products and services.
