This report provides an update on the status of the Circular Procurement Implementation Plan and Framework (CE Procurement Framework), which outlines how circular economy principles will be applied to the City of Toronto's purchasing processes to drive waste reduction, economic growth, and social prosperity and support making the City of Toronto the first city in the province with a circular economy. A circular economy aims to reduce waste and maximize resources by focusing on product longevity, renewability, reuse, and repair.
