Circular procurement is a direct instrument that will accelerate Canada’s transition from a linear to a circular economy, which focuses on the full value of goods, services, public works, and infrastructure investments.
It provides support and a place of collaboration for governments and private sector organizations alike who recognize an opportunity to use their buying power to achieve their broader economic, environmental, and social objectives simultaneously.
