Local governments buy more than €40 billion a year and central governments more than €20 billion. Traditionally, buying is the best value for money. Today, government procurement is being used to change the world. As a result, dozens of government bodies signed a Green Procurement Agreement 2.0 in 2018 [18]. In the context of the circular economy, it is important to use the term purchasing in the broadest sense of the word. Attention at the time of purchase is not limited to the time of purchase (transaction) or even the course of demand at the time of purchase. Procurement starts with the initial description of the requirements and ends when the end product is reused or reissued. Governments should therefore see public procurement as a process in which:


Moreover, the government should invest in an organizational culture where innovation is important. Make sure that policy and implementation work together to set ambitious and responsible goals and create space for personalization and experimentation. Support those who want to innovate and strengthen communication and collaboration. Governments must make clear to the market what their ambitions are. Stimulate the market to get moving and contribute to these ambitions. Join less frequent suppliers, describe their profit potential, and provide opportunities for innovation in procurement processes. Sometimes the government itself must be actively involved in realizing the desired innovations. It is about supporting innovation efforts that help market countries build a cartel set up by the government. Together with the market, it maintains the development (ideas), concludes role and turnover-sharing agreements, and organizes the management of the innovation portfolio. Governments can deploy additional and sometimes different policies to promote the transition to a circular economy. For example, definitions of waste and raw materials and legislation and regulations are outdated. In addition, the policy focuses mainly on recycling and traditional partnerships and the transition from taxation to employment has not yet taken place. In addition to the national level, the global governments must continue to formulate their international role in the circular economy. The number of raw materials extracted worldwide is increasing year after year. The following recommendations to strengthen public policy and the circular economy:


**Figure 10** shows a model for the design and disposal of waste material throughout the value chain. This method comprised the triple value system, making clear interdependence of the three types of dynamic systems i.e., industry, society, and the environment. Resources are withdrawn from nature, go through production processes to develop a value for markets, and then the generated wastes are moved to the reuse or recycle phase.

The role of governments in linking enterprises to the circular economy market is significant. By establishing the legal frameworks, developing strategic plans and public services guidelines, and making sound decisions about the functioning of organizations in the circular economy, governments can respond to the needs of the circular products and impact the business functioning ways. Large municipalities, in particular, have a positive impact on the community and industry, with maximized

purchasing power and can influence millions of shareholders through effective policies and procedures. Moreover, public dedication, policies and regulations, programs specifically targeting the particular materials, environment-friendly purchasing in procurement, and long-term processing contracts can link the circular market with the enterprises. These steps from governments will pave way for the companies and will motivate them to join hands in sustainable construction waste management.
