The Community Resources Network Ireland (CRNI) has developed a ‘virtual trade fair’ to showcase what member organisations can offer in terms of green, circular and social products and services. The solutions cover a number of categories including recycling/reuse/upcycling of ICT equipment, appliances, building materials, furniture and textiles; repair services; food waste reduction; and sustainable transport and events.

The guide covers the entire procurement cycle and explains relevant legislation, policy, tools and techniques. The criteria cover ten priority sectors: office buildings, road transport, ICT equipment, food and catering services, textiles, heating equipment, energy-using appliances, paper and printing, lighting, and cleaning services.
