The power of procurement.
Across British Columbia and beyond, organizations are revolutionizing procurement and asset management to champion reuse and circular practices.
From grassroots organizations to local governments and leading institutions, innovative purchasing models are emerging that prioritize sustainability while delivering environmental benefits and cost savings.
Join us as we explore real-world success stories where procurement has driven reuse and circular economy actions. We’ll examine how organizations and communities have transformed their purchasing practices and hear firsthand insights from experts who have helped them navigate this shift and create best practices, including:
Reeve Consulting and the Canadian Collaboration for Sustainable Procurement to help us understand and illustrate procurement trends across Canada | learn more
iWaste Not – ReCAP will show the success of organizations using innovative online inventory of unwanted or unused items for recirculation within their organization. No storage warehouse is required – items are transferred directly between staff or departments | learn more
The Circular Procurement team at the Circular Innovation Council will highlight examples of organizations putting circular economy concepts into action and give us an overall picture of current actions in circular procurement practices from electronics to asphalt | learn more
Light House will highlight their new BMEx (Building Material Exchange), Construction Plastics Initiative, and the Circular Construction Accelerator, which supports businesses in the construction sector to innovate and scale their circular economy practices | learn more
