Context

What was the IPNN Café about?

The IPNN Café on 20 June 2019 focused on circular procurement. Pepijn Duijvestein outlined an economy in which buyers and suppliers may merge into a similar role and jointly focus on the presentation and comfort of the user, with conscious use of raw materials and energy. To understand each other better, the roles were reversed during the meeting.

The meeting took place at the Van Swinderenhuys of the University of Groningen, organised by the Inkoop Platform Noord-Nederland (IPNN). New Economy connects circular procurement with material retention, market development and executable circular choices.
