- Provides strategies for achieving electronics stewardship goals at DOE sites.
- Requires annual reporting of EPEAT procurement and green disposition of computers.

## MOU to Promote Electronics Stewardship

**MOU to Promote Electronics Stewardship**

- Signed by CEQ and 10 other Federal agencies, including DOE.
- Promotes common strategies for electronics stewardship across Federal agencies.  Commits signatories to:
- Procure environmentally preferable electronics.
- Enabling electronics power management capabilities.
- Recycle and reuse of surplus (end-of-life) electronics.

## E.O. 13423 Requires Purchasing EPEAT-Registered Electronics

- NEW** **
- _E.O. 13423_
- >95% of purchases must be EPEAT-registered.
- Applies to electronics for which EPEAT standards exist.
- IT contracts must incorporate appropriate language.
- IT contracts must address applicable FAR clauses (Note: FAR case is pending).
- Products should be EPEAT Silver or higher, if available.

- EXISTING** **
- _DOE O 450.1_
- Requires buying EPEAT registered electronics.
- _DOE Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Program Overview & DOE Acquisition Guide_
- Encourages buying EPEAT-registered electronics.
- _DOE HQ Common Op. Env._
- Requires buying EPEAT-registered electronics.

## EPEAT Registration Requirements

- 51 environmental performance criteria:  23 required and 28 optional.
- Manufacturers choose tier level for products – Bronze, Silver, and Gold.
- More than 428 products are currently EPEAT-registered.

## E.O. 13423 Requires Enabling of Energy Star® Features

- NEW
- _E.O. 13423_
- Requires Energy Star® features enabled:
- On 100% of computers and monitors; or
- To maximum degree, based on mission needs.
- Some electronics may not be eligible to comply.

- EXISTING
- _DOE O 450.1 _

- Implement procedures to ensure timely reuse and donation of equipment.

- EXISTING
- _DOE O 450.1_
- Extend useful lifespan of computers through software upgrades.
- _DOE HQ Common Op. Env._

## E.O. 13423 Requires Environmentally Sound End-of-Life Disposition

- NEW
- _E.O. 13423 _
- Requires environmentally sound reuse, donation, sale, or recycle of end-of-life electronics.
- Choose qualified recyclers.
- Comply with GSA’s Computer’s for Learning Program (E.O. 12999).
- Ensure reuse, donation, sale or recycle of leased IT equipment at end of lease.
