## How Can IT Resellers and Manufacturers Help Meet Customer Demand for Greener Computers?

- NITAAC Vendor Business Meeting
- By Holly Elwood, EPA
- November 17, 2006

## Agenda

- Why Do Feds and Other Large Purchasers Want to Green Their Computer Purchases?
- What is EPEAT?
- Who is Using EPEAT?
- How Can I Help My Customers Find EPEAT Registered Products?

## Why Do Feds and Other Large Purchasers Want to Green Their Computer Purchases?

## Four Key Facts About Federal Government and Electronics

- 1. Feds are one of world’s largest purchasers of electronics
- 2. Average life span of a federal computer is 3 years
- 3.	Approximately 10,000 federally owned computers could be deemed excess or surplus each week

## Four Key Facts About Federal Government and Electronics

- 4. Electronics represent serious environmental costs and opportunities
- 	Contribute to our energy use/costs
- 	May contain toxic or hazardous substances when if not properly disposed of can harm public health and the environment
- 	Can result in environmental liabilities if not disposed of properly
- 	Contribute to our warehouse rental costs and/or staff costs during disposal

## Requirements to Buy Environmentally Preferable Electronics

- Executive Order 13101 requires feds to buy more environmentally preferable products
- Energy Policy Act requires feds to buy Energy Star and FEMP compliant electronics
- The Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) also require green purchasing

## Requirements to Buy Environmentally Preferable Electronics

- FAR SubPart 23.703 requires feds to:
- “(a) **Implement cost-effective contracting preference programs promoting** energy-efficiency, water conservation, and **the acquisition of environmentally preferable products and services**; and
- (b) Employ acquisition strategies that affirmatively implement the following environmental objectives:
- (1) **Maximize the utilization of environmentally preferable products and services (based on EPA-issued guidance**).“

## EPEAT© FAR Case has been submitted by OMB to the FAR Council

- Requirements to Buy Environmentally Preferable Electronics

## White House Push to Green Federal Procurement of Electronics

**Federal Electronics Challenge MOU Signed on Nov 15, 2004**
**Twelve Federal Agencies (inc. DOD, DOJ, DHHS) and EOP signed -  about**** 84% of the annual IT Federal budget **
**By 2008, 95% of computer units purchased by eligible FEC Partners are ****EPEAT****©**** **** Bronze qualified or higher**

## OMB Environmental Scorecard

- Includes rating for meeting FEC goals and objectives
- Buying EPEAT**©**** **registered products is the main way to meet FEC MOU green procurement objectives and contributes towards getting a green rating

## Bottom Line

- Feds need to be able to easily identify and buy EPEAT registered computer desktops, laptops, and monitors
- Vendors who can’t help them meet their EPEAT objectives will lose business

## Electronic ProductEnvironmental Assessment Tool

## What is EPEAT© ?

- An easy to use environmental procurement tool designed to help institutional purchasers compare desktop computers, laptops and monitors based on their environmental attributes.

**Notes:**

## What is EPEAT©?

- 1) Set of voluntary environmental performance criteria (IEEE 1680 American National Standard for the Environmental Assessment of Personal Computer Products)

## EPEAT© Environmental Performance Categories

- Environmentally Sensitive Materials
- Materials Selection
- Design for End of Life
- Product Longevity/Life Cycle Extension
- Energy Conservation
- End of Life Management
- Corporate Performance
- Packaging

## What is EPEAT©?

-  Comply with European RoHS Directive, restricts:
-  Cadmium,

- Report amount of mercury in light sources
**Optional**
- Additional limits on mercury for light sources
- Eliminate intentionally added mercury for light sources

- What is EPEAT©?

**Example: Environmentally Sensitive Materials**

## What is EPEAT©?

**Mandatory**
- Declare post-consumer recycled plastic content
- Declare renewable/biobased plastic materials content
**Optional**
- Meet minimum post-consumer recycled plastic content
- Meet minimum renewable/biobased plastic material
-  content

**Example: Materials Selection**

## What is EPEAT©?

-  Design case to be easily disassembled
-  Label plastic components by type
-  Make it easy to identify & remove components with
-  hazardous materials
**Optional**
-  Reduce number of plastic types used
-  Ensure a minimum % of product is recyclable or
-        reusable

- What is EPEAT©?

**Example: Design for End of Life**

- ENERGY STAR qualified
**Optional**

## EPEAT© Verification Process

-  Like ENERGY STAR®** **Companies:
- Sign MOU to participate
- Products verified after registered
-  Products routinely tested:
- Test a single attribute or set of attributes across all products

## Customer Testimonials

**The use of NITAAC contracts has helped us reduce the lead-time for many of our large procurements.   The vehicle has many vendors and maximum exposure for competition.  We appreciate the standardized format for the many preaward and post award documentation requirements.  This reduces the time spent documenting the decision process.    The staff have been enormously helpful when addressing procurement problems.**** **
