The Roadmap to a Resource-Efficient Europe outlines the significant impact of manufacturing goods on natural resources, energy, the environment and climate change. In this way, significant improvements in furniture manufacturing processes and materials have the potential to contribute to a competitive furniture sector and related industries, as well as to their sustainability and energy efficiency. Thus, the Commission set in its “7th Environment Action Programme” that by 2020 50% of all public tendering procedures should endorse common core EU GPP criteria. For that purpose, it has already been established a set of GPP criteria for different aspects of the furniture, such as production, use and waste.The GPP-FURNITURE project will create an Eco-Innovative partnership in four European countries (Bulgaria, Poland, Romania and Spain) formed by six partners: clusters, chambers and associations with a strong relation with the furniture and related sectors and the procurement administrative bodies; Universities specialized in teaching courses of wood technology, design furniture and public procurment legislation; and a SME specialized in IT services.The partnership will be set up with the goal of designing and developing an e-learning training course for filling gaps in the manufacture and design furniture skills in relation with Green Public Procurement for current and future managers and workers in the furniture industry and habitat sectors. To achieve the objective the partnership will carry out the following activities: - Comparative analysis and evidence-gathering, studies of examples of good practices, and real life cases of “green” tenders, in order to identified skills needs and competences in the European furniture industry required to successfully applied for green public procurements. - Development of a joint curriculum with the integration of different learning modes (distance, face to face, etc) and innovative approaches. -The creation of learning and training materials together with methods, pedagogical approaches and tools. - Capacity buildings and networking activities. Thus, the partnership will collaborate and work in GPP-FURNITURE with the aim to foster modernization and knowledge expansion aligned to the needs and opportunities offered by the increasing number of “green” tenders by the public administration in relation with the furniture industry. The project will carry out its own assessment, and a wide Dissemination Plan to spread its results among as many interested parties as possible. GPP-FURNITURE will also address transversal skills, such as entrepreneurship, green skills, and digital competences.
