THE ORIGINS OF C-PRONE

THE ORIGINS OF C-PRONE

C-PRONE stands for Circular Procurement Network, In many languages, it can be pronounced as 'chaperone', this friendly supportive companion, which gives an idea of what the hub stands for: a place for its participants to share and seek support. There is a growing number of countries, regions and cities experimenting circular procurement, but there is no overarching body, network or platform to facilitate 'inter-initiative' sharing of insights and experiences. During the Interreg NSR ProCirc project, partners prepared the concept of C-PRONE, with the aim of setting up a permanent umbrella for circular procurement initiatives and create a structural sharing space to bridge this gap.
