The Green Products Compilation (GPC) is presented as an educational tool to facilitate the procurement of green products and services. The products listed are those for which the EPA, DOE, or USDA have issued designations or otherwise provided guidance for environmental or energy attributes. This interactive tool consolidates and organizes information from these federal green purchasing programs in one place, saving you from researching multiple web sites. It allows Federal purchasers to search, sort, and identify sustainable products and their associated guidance documentation to facilitate green purchasing decisions. Get started now and make your next purchase a sustainable one.
