Sustainable Purchasing

What You Can Do

Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) is an important step toward making sustainability a reality on our campus. EPP is a strategy that seeks to procure products and services with a reduced or minimal environmental impact as compared to other similar products/services that serve the same purpose.

EPP considerations include:

  • reduction of energy consumption, toxicity, air and water pollution impact
  • materials efficiency (such as packaging)
  • minimizing disposal impact at the end of useful life

What To Look For

Environmentally preferable products are generally:
  • Less toxic
  • Minimally polluting
  • More energy efficient
  • With higher recycled content
  • With less packaging
