C-PRONE

C-PRONE is the ‘one stop shop’ on what is going on regarding circular procurement. It connects the existing networks, initiatives, and relevant actors and offers direct access to key resources (tools, knowledge, events, and community) to unlock successful circular procurement.

{slider 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.

{slider 3 OBJECTIVES, A MULTITUDE OF ACTIVITIES}

C-PRONE aims to enable and facilitate international sharing between the existing networks, initiatives and individual participants, with the ambition of becoming a ‘one stop shop’ for current state of play on circular procurement, available tools, active stakeholders, and for past and ongoing initiatives, etc. Various activities will be implemented in order to:

• Facilitate the exchange of information: online and in person network meetings, training and workshops, participation in international conferences, information on upcoming events and activities;
• Create a body of knowledge: repository of good practices, studies, etc., circular procurement helpdesk, bimonthly newsletter with updates on community and circular procurement news;
• Provide policy insights: access and understand the latest EU policy developments linked to circular procurement, exchange and inspiration for regional and local policies.
