Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP)
In addition to environmental benefits, environmentally preferable
(EP) products can reduce costs by improving the efficient use
of energy, water and materials and by reducing waste management
and disposal fees. EP products can also help minimize worker
illness and increase regulatory compliance by avoiding the use
of hazardous and polluting materials. EPP sustains "green"
markets by supporting companies that provide EP products and services.
