Circular Procurement: Closing the Loop on Fitouts, Furniture & Facilities is a practical, future-focused guide for procurement, sustainability, and facilities leaders ready to move beyond linear buying.
Offices are one of the most visible—and wasteful—frontiers of corporate sustainability. From furniture and fit-outs to food, cleaning, and IT, everyday procurement decisions lock in carbon, cost, and culture for years to come. This book shows how to change that.
Drawing on real-world experience from global portfolios, Helene Carpentier and Mat Langley translate circular economy principles into actionable procurement strategies. You'll learn how to design for reuse, embed circularity into RFx and contracts, implement product-as-a-service models, track assets digitally, and measure impact across carbon, materials, and culture.
Blending strategy with hands-on tools, case studies, and emerging policy insights (including ESPR, CSRD, and Digital Product Passports), this book equips teams to reduce waste, cut Scope 3 emissions, and build more resilient, future-ready workplaces—without sacrificing performance or credibility.
This book was developed with the support of generative AI tools to assist with structuring and drafting, while all insights, analysis, and recommendations reflect the authors' professional expertise and real-world practice.
Whether you work in procurement, real estate, facilities management, sustainability, or design, this book is your playbook for turning circular ambition into everyday practice.
