Circular Economy tenders

Circular economy funding has moved from a niche industrial-decarbonization sub-theme to a top-line priority in the EU (Circular Economy Action Plan, Horizon Cluster 6), the UK (DEFRA Resources & Waste Strategy), and a growing list of MDB programmes. The 2024–2026 wave concentrates on textiles, electronics, plastics, and battery materials. Listed below are the open circular economy tenders and contract notices that landscape produces, taken from each buyer's own notice and re-checked on every refresh.

Contracts in this area come from manufacturers, waste authorities and local government buying collection, sorting, recovery and materials services. Public waste contracts in particular are long, heavily specified and often let by consortia of authorities, so the tender documents run to hundreds of pages and the bid window is the constraint rather than the technical fit.

This page lists open circular economy tenders and public contracts currently tracked by Raise Lens — 623 of them right now, sorted with the soonest deadline first. Every listing has been classified against the sustainability taxonomy rather than matched on keywords, so what appears here is circular economy work rather than anything whose description happens to mention it.

42 distinct buyers are publishing the circular economy tenders and public contracts on this page. Who is funding matters as much as what: eligibility, reporting burden and the realistic timeline to a decision vary far more between buyers than between individual calls, which is why the listing names the buyer on every opportunity it opens.

48 of these close within the next 30 days. Deadlines are taken from the source listing and re-checked on every refresh, but the originating buyer remains the authority — always confirm against the official notice before you submit.
