Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP)

Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) is a strategy where organizations select products and services that have a smaller environmental impact throughout their lifecycle, from production to disposal. This includes considering factors like resource efficiency, minimal waste, and reduced pollution. The goal is to promote sustainability by choosing greener options that help protect natural resources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and support environmentally responsible companies. EPP encourages responsible buying habits that contribute to a healthier planet while still meeting organizational needs effectively.
