“…The next paper within this theme addressed the question: how can purchasing impact the transition towards more sustainable sourcing practices? In Neessen et al (2021) , the team focuses on the increasing pressure that organizations are under to move toward a circular economy, where waste is minimized or eliminated. Clearly, purchasing can (and should) play a large role in this transition, and in this work the team identified a roadmap for the details of that role.…”

Objective: This article examines the scope of the implementation of green purchasing (GP), the drivers for its implementation and the use of green purchasing practices (GPP) in selected sectors of Poland’s B2B (Business to Business) economy.Research Design & Methods: A review of the literature and the survey study using CATI (Computer Aided Telephone Interview) were conducted. The literature reviewed concerned green purchasing and green purchasing practices. The main concepts introduced in this paper are green purchasing, green purchasing drivers and green purchasing practices. Green purchasing practices are intended to integrate environmental management into an organisation’s purchasing function.Findings: The results concern the scope of implementation of the green purchasing concept, the drivers of implementing the green purchasing concept and the use of identified green purchasing practices in selected sectors of Poland’s B2B market.Implications/Recommendations: The article provides a basis for further studies related to green purchasing drivers and practices. The results could provide the foundation for a framework for companies seeking to implement green purchasing.Contribution: The article will help readers understand the extent to which green purchasing is being used in selected areas of Poland’s B2B market, the drivers for its implementation and the use of green purchasing practices. Recommendations for future research are also included.

“…Regarding CE aspects specifically, the Web of Knowledge database provided 16 hits for the search term 'circular procurement' in the area of management, business, economics, and law. Based on further analyses of titles and abstracts, eight articles appeared to be relevant in the context of this study [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. Several CPP studies focus on a specific country case.…”

On the Road to Circular Public Procurement: Case, Variations, and Potential Actions in Germany

According to the United Nations, the consumption of materials is expected to double between 2020 and 2050. At the same time, annual waste generation is forecast to increase by 70% by 2050. The circular economy (CE) addresses this problem. However, many barriers to the further development of the CE exist. This article analyses the situation of public procurement in supporting a sustainable CE for tyres in Germany based on 18 interviews with public procurement professionals directly responsible for the purchase of tyres and four additional expert interviews. Based on the dimensions ‘current circular public procurement (CPP) intensity’ and ‘current CPP opportunities’, a classification of tyre procurement situations and barriers to sustainable circular tyre procurement is presented. Strategies to overcome these supply-side and demand-side barriers are specified, resulting in nine recommendations for German policymakers. As a way forward, a detailed concept for a pilot project on tyre CPP is provided. The article also shows how the circular public procurement classification can be used to support sustainability measures in a broader context. Finally, the article’s outlook focuses on implications to promote sustainable circular tyre procurement in other countries. It explains different framework conditions and elaborates to what extent additional research is necessary to develop appropriate recommendations for those conditions.
