Abstract

The current linear economy needs to change in order to allow future generations to meet their needs. A sustainable alternative to the linear economy is the circular economy. One way to accelerate the circular economy is by implementing circularity into the procurement activities of public organizations. However, this could cause some challenges. Therefore, this thesis aims to identify the relating challenges municipalities in Friesland face in order to let the engineering and consultancy firm Royal HaskoningDHV better advise those municipalities in the future. Results from semi-structured interviews among stakeholders working at Frisian municipalities indicate divergent challenges, ranging from challenges relating to collaboration to a lack of vision and ambition. This thesis comes with five recommendations, like the sharing of best practices in order to create enthusiasm. Future research could build on this by also including other stakeholders, like market players to get a more comprehensive overview of the challenges.
