Circular procurement applies lifecycle thinking to purchasing decisions by considering not only how a product is acquired and used but also how it can be maintained, repaired, reused, refurbished, recovered, or responsibly processed at end of life.

For hotels, this may involve prioritizing durable and serviceable equipment, planning for future replacement, maintaining accurate asset records, and identifying appropriate disposition channels before products are retired.

The objective is to reduce unnecessary waste and extract greater practical value from assets throughout their lifecycle.
