Circular Economy, Eco Design and LRAs
- Green public procurement :
• Exemplarity (sustainable buildings, reuse

• PP = 15 % / 20 % GDP in the EU
• Boosting eco-innovation (cf. Ecover’s story)
Circular Economy, Eco Design and LRAs
- Front-runners examples:
• Catalan Region (eco-design awards)
• Flemish Region (Ecolizer and SIS toolkit)
• Limburg Privince (Cradle to cradle network)
