Green Purchasing

What you buy can be as important to your bottom line as how much you buy. Knowing more about the supplies and materials you use in your business can give you a leg up on the competition.

  • Are you buying the most sustainable products you can?
  • Are the green products you are buying now really green?

We have worked with municipalities and business to implement environmentally preferable purchasing policies that make sense from both an economic and environmental perspective.

With the popularity of “green”, there are many products on the market which advertise that they are green, but may not deliver on those promises. We do the research to make sure that the products and services you buy are actually what they say they are.

But a policy is not enough, if it is not carried out by your staff. We provide staff training to educate employees on environmentally preferable products-what they are, what they aren’t and, how to recognize them. Then we work with your procurement staff to identify the best methods to incorporate environmentally preferable purchasing into your existing procedures.

We look at what you are currently buying to see if there are greener alternatives that will work for you.

Material Life Cycle Analysis

Materials have a life of their own. They start as a raw material in or on the ground and they are transformed through various processes into materials that eventually become finished products. It is now possible to analyze each material’s impact on the environment from its original mining or harvesting to its finished state. Through this analysis you can make informed decisions on how the materials you buy and sell impact the planet.

Material life cycle analysis is a powerful tool to look at what you are doing now and compare it to the alternatives to see which materials and which processes combine to create the smallest footprint.

 

Supply Chain Analysis and Verification

How green are your suppliers and the materials that they provide to you? We can look at your upstream vendors to analyze and identify alternative materials and products that will make your product greener and give you that marketplace edge with those businesses and consumers looking to green up their businesses.
