After almost a year since the launch of the ProCirc project, the consortium met in Westerlo, Belgium, in order to discuss the progress on the various project activities and encourage further development.

In particular, several tools for circular procurement have been gathered and the various criteria to define what a circular procurement tool is have been defined – the survey to gather existing tools is still open, so do not hesitate to fill it in if you are using a tool that can help to implement circular procurement.

In addition, partners shared their views about the various Communities of Practice that gather experts on circular procurement in the various partner territories. The foundations for the implementation of circular procurement pilots on furniture, ICT, and construction have been set, with the host of the meeting, Kamp C, presenting its two pilots on construction. Other pilots have been identified in particular by ACR+ members Zero Waste Scotland, Aalborg, and OVAM.
