15. Circular value creation
Four main types of value creation:
• Sourcing value
Direct - financial
Indirect – resource efficiency
• Environmental value
• Customer value
• Informational value
…but also other types including
social value
16. Circular procurement is..
an approach to delivering sustainability goals that recognises
the role that public bodies can play in supporting the
transition towards a circular economy.
Circular procurement can be defined as the process
by which public authorities purchase works, goods
or services that seek to contribute to closing energy
and material loops within supply chains, whilst
minimising, and in the best case avoiding, negative
environmental impacts and waste creation across
their whole life-cycle.

o spent - risk
o risk - scope
o Scope - influence

Notes de l'éditeur
We are becoming more familiar with the concept of Circular Economy through the championing by organisations such as the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and the implementation programmes of organisations like WRAP in the UK and the Rijkswaterstaat in the Netherlands.
The transition from traditional linear produce-consume-dispose models potentially has multiple benefits in terms of reducing costs and impacts (environmental & social) from production and consumption.
National policy benefits go hand in hand with organisational benefits:
reducing commodity price pressures
Resilience - limiting exposure to price volatility & reducing country/availability risks
developing domestic, circular industries that reduce dependency on imports
This slide shows that since 2003 the resource limits and rapid growth in global demand erased the decline in commodity prices achieved over the previous century (see Figure 2). Commodity price volatility is now a key economic concern. However, this does not imply that future commodity price increases are inevitable. However they and exposure to them (e.g. volatility) are inevitably more likely for both producers and consumers unless we adopt different strategies for growth.
A circular economy is an alternative to a traditional linear economy (make, use, dispose) in which we keep resources in use for as long as possible, extract the maximum value from them whilst in use, then recover and regenerate products and materials at the end of each service life.
It also provides resilience through:
Sustainable consumption & production
Decoupling resources from growth
Market driven – creates wealth, jobs and growth
Delivers accountability at all levels
Meeting future demand
A study conducted by McKinsey1 shows that the circular economy offers major opportunities for Europe. The circular economy could generate between €300-350 billion in material savings alone in Europe, which could also lead to the creation of over 2 million new jobs2.
To avoid moving the problem along the chain as so often happens. This is why municipalities are so important in driving the approach and why they stand to benefit substantially from adopting a circular approach.
Real wages have been stagnant or falling for several decades.
This has resulted in intense competition among companies selling products and services, and in an unfavorable market position for environmentally or socially benign products (these often cost more).
The 3 billion new customers entering the market in the next 20 to 30 years will put an enormous pressure on the resource base if we continue along our current, linear ways.
