On 2-3 September 2020 procurement experts, suppliers, researchers and
key opinion leaders from all over Europe meet online to share their experiences
and best practices of using procurement as an effective tool for transition
towards the circular economy. The purpose of the Congress is to raise awareness
of circular concepts, procurement in particular, highlight good practices,
share experiences and pave the road ahead for circular procurement to enter the
mainstream.
The Congress was a two day online event, which
consist knowledge sharing activities such as workshops, seminars, keynote
speeches and virtual study visits. Purchasers within governmental entities and
companies will discover the advantages of circular procurement and explore
tools that can facilitate and optimize its implementation. The societal
challenge of resource efficiency will be discussed by considering innovative
solutions from a multidimensional perspective. This concerns products,
processes and new business models as well as exploiting the synergies between
public authorities, research institutions, SMEs and non-profit organisations
