Environmentally preferable purchasing (EPP)
The MPCA’s Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) program seeks to increase the availability of environmentally preferable products on state contracts, assist public entities with greening their procurement programs, and share EPP news and information with the EPP community. The EPP program also works with the Product Stewardship team on the issue of standards, certifications, and ecolabels.
