This book was released on 2014-10-09 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EPA's Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) Program was established in 1993 by Executive Order 12873, “Federal Acquisition, Recycling and Waste Prevention.” It has been reaffirmed and expanded by subsequent Executive Orders, most recently Executive Order 13514, “Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance,” in 2009. EPP is administered by EPA's Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT), and is a high-priority area for the office. EPP activities include taking a leadership role or participating in the development of product and service standards, creating procurement guidance, developing model contract language, and developing tools to help buyers assess specific products and services. The program's objectives are to achieve significant reductions in the environmental footprint of federal purchasing, and to make the overall consumer marketplace more environmentally sustainable through federal leadership.

Download or read book Developing a Protocol for an Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Plus (EPP+) Program at NASA Glenn Research Center written by Amarin Kongtawelert and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EPP+ or Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Plus is a Environmentally Preferable Purchasing program with incorporated a unique Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) scoring system which implemented at NASA, Glenn Research Center. A protocol has been developed to aid in selecting among products based on principles of Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The protocol has been developed for use at NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) but is intended to benefit anyone wishing to make sustainable purchasing decision. The protocol was designed as a web-based application which evaluates the life cycle factors, affirmative procurements, price, and performance of products that impact or benefit the environment and human health. There were 2 parts in the development of the EPP+ protocol. The first part was the development of product scoring system guidelines. All products are to be scored using a numerical rating system for each value. A numeric-based rating system has been developed by applying the priorities of the environmental protection and management policies for the purchase of products for GRC. These rating are then multiplied by a weighting factor which is a numeric value between 0 and 1.0. During the product evaluation process, weighting factors are again set according to the importance and priorities set by the Environmental Management Office (EMO). Second part was the development of the EPP+ computer software or protocol (ASP.net format). This protocol produces a score for a product based on a series of ratings and weighting factors given by the expert user. Following the same sequence of operation, various products can be scored and compared, and a list can be prepared for the products that qualify as environmentally preferable products. The lists of products are intended to be offered to contractors and other GRC personnel for their applications. Since the product score is a numeric value, it is easy for a non-expert person to understand and compare with some other products, rather than needing to study the details related to rating and evaluation. The protocol designed and developed under this study will aid administrators in evaluating and scoring environmentally preferable products. It will also help users to select products rated by evaluators, thereby providing a tool to make more sustainable products decisions.

Download or read book Sustainability Considerations for Procurement Tools and Capabilities written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-10-27 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federal laws, regulations, and executive orders have imposed requirements for federal agencies to move toward the sustainable acquisition of goods and services, including the incorporation of sustainable purchasing into federal agency decision making. Since the federal government is such a significant player in the market, its move to incorporate sustainable procurement practices could have a profound impact on the types of products being developed for the market as a whole. The General Services Administration (GSA) has played a key role in furthering sustainable procurement practices throughout the federal government. GSA is responsible for formulating and maintaining government-wide policies covering a variety of administrative actions, including those related to procurement and management. GSA has several ongoing activities related to sustainable procurement to assess the feasibility of working with the federal supplier community - vendors and contractors that serve federal agencies to measure and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the supply chain while encouraging sustainable operations among suppliers. GSA has also been actively developing programs to assist federal agencies in making sustainable procurement decisions. As federal agencies cannot directly fund the development of sustainable procurement tools, they are particularly interested in understanding how to foster innovation and provide incentives for collaboration between developers and users of tools for sustainable purchasing throughout the supply chain. The training of procurement professionals is also a priority for these agencies. To assist efforts to build sustainability considerations into the procurement process, the National Research Council appointed a committee to organize a two-day workshop that explored ways to better incorporate sustainability considerations into procurement tools and capabilities across the public and private sectors. The workshop was designed to help participants assess the current landscape of green purchasing tools, identify emerging needs for enhanced or new tools and opportunities to develop them, identify potential barriers to progress, and explore potential solutions. The workshop provided an opportunity for participants to discuss challenges related to sustainable purchasing and to developing new procurement tools. Sustainability Considerations for Procurement Tools and Capabilities reviews the presenters' recommendations and tools currently used in sustainable procurement, such as databases for ecolabels and standards, codes, or regulations and other nontechnological tools such as policies, frameworks, rating systems, and product indexes.
