Welcome to the Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) Database—a tool to make it easier to purchase products and services with reduced environmental impacts. Environmental information on over 600 products and services is included in this database.
This database will help you buy greener products and services by linking you to:
- Contract language, specifications, and policies created and used by federal and state governments and others to buy environmentally preferable products and services.
- Environmental standards and guidelines for the product you want to buy.
- Vendor lists of product brands which meet these standards.
- Other useful sources of information on the environmental preferability of products and services (e.g., EPP Updates, guidance documents, fact sheets, EPP case studies, and miscellaneous information useful to government purchasers).
For more information, go to About EPP Database.
Please note that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) does not endorse or verify the information contained in this database. EPA is providing access to this information to show how others are identifying and purchasing products and services they consider to be environmentally preferable.
The EPP Database is updated on a regular basis (last updated in January 2008) and will grow as new information is made available. If you have any suggestions to improve the content or function of the database, please click on the contact us link above at any time.
The EPP Program would like to thank the many stakeholders that provided constructive suggestions to develop this resource.
