Municipalities have great purchasing power. By prioritizing acquisitions that stimulate a circular economy, demand will be directed towards products and services that are resource efficient, have a long life and can be reused when they are out of date. This in turn leads to lower CO2 emissions, preservation of biological diversity and less extraction of (critical) raw materials. Circular economy is a solution that can slow down climate-nature and the commodity crisis.
This is a guide to help municipalities succeed with circular procurement, developed by the Kongsvinger region in collaboration with Circular Norway. The target group is politicians, municipal management (budget managers) and and procurement experts.
