Procurement and the circular economy
Make procurement a driver of your circular strategy: identify the circularity levers and embed them concretely into your purchasing processes.
Context
Procurement is on the front line of the transition to a circular economy: it decides which resources enter the organisation, which suppliers are selected and which criteria shape every order. This training helps Procurement, CSR and Supply Chain teams recognise that strategic role, master the circularity levers available to them and embed those levers durably into their processes.

FAQ
What you need to know about us.
What is Circul'R?
Circul'R is a consulting firm specializing in the circular economy. Since 2016, we have supported over 150 large companies and public entities through consulting projects, sector-specific coalitions, training programs, and the Circul'R Club.
How does Circul'R differ from a generalist CSR consulting firm?
Unlike a generalist CSR firm, Circul'R has specialized exclusively in the circular economy since 2016. This cross-functional expertise—covering supply chains, regulations (AGEC, EPR, ESPR), and business models—allows us to turn circularity into a measurable competitive advantage: reducing impact, securing resources, ensuring compliance, and creating new growth drivers.
Who is Circul'R for?
Circul'R advises large private companies—including many CAC 40 and SBF 120 groups—on their strategic decisions across all sectors. The firm also supports organizations that implement public circular economy policies, such as eco-organizations, agencies, donors, and local authorities.
What services does Circul'R offer?
Circul'R offers four complementary services: bespoke consulting projects to structure your circular strategy, sector-specific coalitions to solve common business challenges, training programs to build skills in the circular economy, and the Circul'R Club, a network for companies committed to the circular transition.
What is Circul'R's expertise regarding circular economy regulations (EPR, AGEC, CSRD)?
Circul'R guides its clients through the entire French and European regulatory framework for the circular economy, including the AGEC law, EPR schemes, and CSRD, as well as recent European legislation (PPWR, ESPR, CRMA). We translate these obligations into operational roadmaps, turning compliance requirements into strategic advantages.
How does a consulting project with Circul'R work?
A project begins with a diagnostic of your circular challenges (sourcing, eco-design, business models, regulations, etc.). Circul'R then builds a prioritized, quantified roadmap before supporting the operational deployment of the selected actions, right through to impact measurement and continuous trajectory adjustment.
How do you measure the results of your projects?
We define tailored circularity indicators in advance (such as materials saved, reuse rates, footprint reduction, and value generated) and track their progress throughout the project to ensure concrete business and environmental results.
Do you work only in France or internationally as well?
Based in Paris, Circul'R operates primarily in France and Europe. Internationally, we support cooperation projects, including sharing French expertise on EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) and assisting donors with their circular transition programs in emerging countries, through a network of operational partners and sector experts.
