b.circular: a simple, scalable tool to support sustainable and circular procurement, tailored to your needs
This tool is designed to support users in sustainable and circular procurement by enabling to filter and compare options across different product categories and criteria. It currently promotes recognised environmental labels and will gradually incorporate additional solutions relevant to the Luxembourg context.
By considering several dimensions as well as predefined and evolving criteria specific to each product category, you can identify the most relevant options to meet your needs. Please refer to the disclaimer below for details on the methodology and intended use.
Methodology
The b.circular platform uses a global framework of sustainability and circularity criteria, structured around major thematic dimensions, to guide its users.
This framework was developed through a detailed analysis of requirements from recognised environmental labels and standards. While the framework ensures overall consistency, criteria for each product category are carefully selected and evaluated individually, based on their relevance, materiality, and practical applicability.
Environmental labels have been assessed according to their compliance with standards and relative to each other, considering factors such as the scope and rigor of their requirements, and the distinction between mandatory and optional criteria.

Users are encouraged to view the platform as a starting point for reflection, learning, and engagement, and to seek additional expert guidance where appropriate.
