Criteria on circular economy and complaint mechanisms: Background and current possibilities for implementing ambitious requirements for textile procurement

Many municipalities are already calling for sustainability criteria in their textile tenders. This is often about basic labour rights or organic cotton. With more market availability and stronger binding requirements, which are also required at the federal level, the level of sustainability requirements can also be raised. On the one hand, this guide aims to explain the reasons why it is important for municipalities to pay attention to criteria of circular economy and good complaint mechanisms in production when tendering for textiles. On the other hand, it shows in concrete terms how these criteria are required and what evidence can be accepted. The criteria can be integrated into existing questionnaires or used on their own.
