About "4.1 Environmental Specifications for Products and Services"

Hopefully, in time, environmental specifications will be included in all requests for proposals/ requests for tenders.

Did you know that...


Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has put forward its Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) guiding Principles. This includes: links to many EPP resources, and case studies of successful programs; several guides covering topics such as: greening your purchase of cleaning products, electronics, carpet, copiers, food service-ware, meetings and conferences; comprehensive database including contract language, voluntary standards and guidelines, and product environmental attributes. EPA's Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines (CPG) is a recycled-content product's database that is well researched and wide-ranging.
Questions (2): 

55.  Do you include standard language in all requests for proposals/ requests for tenders expressing your desire to purchase environmentally preferable products and services?
 



56.  To what degree, do suppliers actually co-operate with you in providing environmentally preferable products?
