Abstract: We live in an age of consumption with an ever-increasing demand of already scarce resources and equally fast growing problems of waste generation and climate change. To tackle these difficult issues, we must learn from mother nature. Just like waste does not exist in nature, we must strive to create circular ecosystems where waste is minimized and energy is conserved. This paper focuses on how public procurement can help us transition to a more circular economy, while navigating international trade laws that govern it.
