Public procurement has enormous potential to accelerate the transition towards a circular economy. By rethinking how products and services are purchased, used and managed throughout their life cycles, public organisations can help reduce resource consumption, minimise environmental impacts and stimulate more circular markets.

This course explores how circular economy principles can be translated into practical procurement decisions. You will learn about the European legal and policy context, discover strategies and tools for integrating circularity throughout the procurement process, and explore practical examples across different product categories. Through expert insights, case studies and practical approaches, you will gain a better understanding of the opportunities and challenges of circular public procurement – and how to put circularity into practice in your own organisation or professional context. Whether you work in procurement, sustainability, policymaking, supply or a related field, this course will equip you with new perspectives, knowledge and strategies to help make circular public procurement a reality.
