ROOT to Market Dynamic Market for Regenerative Procurement

What the buyer is asking for

Regeneration Over Extraction. Suppliers must seek to:  Prioritise materials and products that restore, replenish, or enhance natural living systems.  Avoid extractive materials that degrade ecosystems, deplete finite resources, or cause long term environmental harm.  Use resource efficiently and maximise material lifespans through good design and appropriate material use  Demonstrate a clear transition plan away from extractive inputs where alternatives are not yet available.  Minimise embodied carbon in construction materials (e.g., concrete, steel, insulation).  Prioritise regenerative or circular construction materials (e.g., reclaimed steel, recycled aggregates, lower embodied carbon concrete alternatives, timber from regenerative forestry).  Avoid extractive materials linked to high impact mining (e.g., virgin aggregates, aluminium, PVC).  Seek to design for deconstruction, enhancing the residual value of materials at the end of design life and reducing future reliance on extractive practices Ethical and Non-Exploitative Supply Chains. Suppliers must seek to:  Ensure all labour practices across their supply chain are fair, safe, and free from exploitation.  Avoid sourcing from suppliers or regions associated with forced labour, unsafe working conditions, or unfair pay.  Maintain transparent supply chain mapping and provide evidence of due diligence on request.  Ensure fair and safe working conditions on construction sites. 2.3 Climate Friendly Operations. Suppliers must seek to:  Minimise carbon, water and waste in their organisations and core operations.  Specifically minimise greenhouse gas emissions across production, transport, and distribution.  Prioritise low carbon materials, renewable energy, and efficient logistics.  Minimise whole life carbon impacts in design and materials, optimising embodied carbon together with operational efficiency.  Reduce site emissions (plant, generators, transport) and use electric or low emission plant and machinery.  Implement site level water management and waste segregation plans.  Demonstrate continuous improvement in reducing their carbon footprint, water usage and waste production, supported by measurable data where possible.  Drive design towards deconstruction practices and offer (and advocate for) regenerative material options to replace more mainstream materials  Nature Enhancing Practices. Suppliers must seek to:  Adopt practices that actively improve soil health, biodiversity, water quality, and ecosystem resilience.  Use regenerative agricultural, manufacturing, or operational methods wherever feasible.  Avoid chemicals, processes, or materials known to harm biodiversity or natural habitats.  Implement nature positive site practices.  Ensure soil protection and restoration before and after works.  Avoid habitat disturbance and protect ecological features during construction. Circularity and Resource Stewardship. Suppliers must seek to:  Maximise recycled, reclaimed, or up-cycled materials.  Design products and packaging for reuse, repair, or recycling.  Minimise waste generation and avoid single use materials unless essential for safety or compliance.  Design for reuse, modularity and disassembly.  Maximise reuse of demolition materials.  Avoid single use construction materials (e.g. plastic sheeting)  Offer and opt for the use of bio-based and recovered materials wherever viably possible
