Green Public Procurement (GPR), also known as circular procurement, is a policy tool for public and private organizations that prioritizes purchase of products and services that have respect for the environment at their core. Apart from setting an example by responsible, value-based sourcing, green public procurement also sets new standards for procurement practices. By stimulating market demand for environmentally sound product and service options, green public procurement can build economies of scale for currently niche solutions and so accelerate a paradigm change towards more sustainable lifestyles in response to climate emergency.(1-4)
