On‑site training in Zeist: get hands‑on with circular procurement (21 April 2026)
Learn both the theory and practical application of circular procurement in a free on‑site training session at Nevi in Zeist. Offered by the Circular Procurement Acceleration Network, this training is suitable for both beginners and experienced procurement professionals in the public and private sector.
Raw materials are not infinitely available. Recovering and reusing available materials as efficiently and at the highest possible value is the core principle of the circular economy. But where do you begin as a buyer? What are the first steps in the procurement process? And what can we learn from real‑world examples? This training provides the answers.
Who is it for?
The training is intended for both beginning and experienced buyers (starters and the main group) in the public and private sector. A maximum of 16 places is available. If interest is high, you will be placed on a waiting list and informed in good time.
Morning and afternoon programme
The training consists of two separate modules, which you can also attend individually:
Morning programme
‘Introduction to Circular Procurement’ (9:30–12:30)
You will learn what circular procurement entails, which concepts and tools are available — including the Circular Procurement Roadmap — and why circular procurement is important. Common dilemmas are also discussed.
Afternoon programme
'Working with Circular Procurement case studies’ (13:30–16:30)
Using real‑world examples, you apply the theory and the roadmap from the morning session. You may submit your own case in advance. If you attend only the afternoon session, it is assumed that you are already familiar with the concepts and tools from the Circular Procurement Acceleration Network.
Participants attending the full day will receive a networking lunch offered by the Circular Procurement Acceleration Network.
