Central Europe Green PRocurement and Innovation Network for Circular Economy

Circular procurement considers the whole life cycle of goods and services and can help to avoid negative environmental impacts. However, no common standards exist so far and requirements for incorporating circular criteria into public tenders vary from country to country. The CE-PRINCE project steps in to standardise circular procurement approaches across central European countries and industries. The partners improve capacities of public authorities to draft and assess circular tenders and of companies to participate in them through training, the development of toolkits, and a joint strategy.
