- EPA - Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP)
- Environmentally preferable purchasing is becoming commonplace in many governmental and institutional organizations.
Proper sanitation and cleaning are important for a healthy building environment. Some cleaning products, however, can contain harmful chemicals that contaminate the environment and endanger human health.
Implementing "green cleaning" practices can reduce these health, safety and environmental risks. Green cleaning involves selecting alternative products, using those products properly and taking other steps to reduce risks while maintaining a satisfactory level of cleanliness and disinfection.
Environmentally Preferable Purchasing is a process; not an outcome. Consequently, no product or set of products, including biobased, energy or water efficient or recycled-content products, will be environmentally preferable in every situation.
- NIEHS - Environmental Stewardship
- The NIEHS receives its funding through an annual Congressional appropriation. The Office of Science Policy supports the NIEHS director and staff in defining and interpreting programs and research of the Institute to Congress, as well as to the public, scientific, and public health communities.

- USDA - BioPreferred Program
- Green Purchasing And Biobased Initiatives Of The Federal Environmental Executive. The BioPreferredSM program aims to increase the purchase and use of renewable, environmentally friendly biobased products while providing "green" jobs and new markets for farmers, manufacturers, and vendors.
The BioPreferred program offers three major benefits: Climate Change Impact Reduction, Energy/Environmental Security, and Economic Development.
- CleanGredientrs.org
- CleanGredients is an online resource for green formulation®. CleanGredients aligns broad environmental and human health goals with the cleaning product industry's business objectives and will support formulation of products with human and environmental health benefits.
- EPA - Design for the Environment (DfE)

- EPA - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Buy Recycled
- REDUCING SOLID WASTE
Despite progress in recycling, Americans are still generating too much waste. Every day, on average, each person throws away over four pounds of material. These discards burden both the environment and our economy.
But even recycling, which adds major economic and environmental benefits, has economic and environmental costs. The best approach to our solid waste challenge is to cut the creation of waste in the first place.
* Reduce * Reuse * Recycle * Buy Recycled
- EPA - Organic Composting
- Yard trimmings and food residuals together constitute 24 percent of the U.S. municipal solid waste stream. That's a lot of waste to send to landfills when it could become useful and environmentally beneficial compost instead!
Organic Composting offers the obvious benefits of resource efficiency and creating a useful product from organic waste that would otherwise have been landfilled.
