Circular Economy and Secondary Materials Procurement Advisory

Procurement is the fastest lever a circular economy has.

Recycled and recovered materials need buyers before they need more processing capacity. Procurement decides what gets specified, what gets bought, and therefore what market exists. We help government bodies and organisations turn circular economy commitments into specifications and contracts that suppliers can actually meet.

Who this is for

State and local government bodies with circular economy, waste or sustainability commitments

Organisations whose sustainability targets need to show up in what they buy

Circular economy sector partners and industry bodies working to build market demand

Project and infrastructure teams specifying construction materials and civil works

What you get

Review of specifications and contract terms to remove the barriers that quietly exclude recycled content
Practical advice on where secondary materials can be specified now, and where the market is not ready yet

How it works

A 30 minute discussion about your commitments and where procurement is getting in the way

A written scope and fee proposal, whether that is a specification review, a workshop, or both.

Delivery, with recommendations your team can put into the next tender.
