Department of Defense Sustainable Product Purchasing
Summary
The Department’s vision of sustainability is to maintain the ability to operate into the future without decline either in the mission or in the natural and man-made systems that support it. The Department of Defense (DoD) embraces sustainability as a means of improving mission accomplishment.
The DoD established a sustainable product purchasing program to enhance and sustain mission readiness through cost effective acquisition that achieves compliance and reduces resource consumption and solid and hazardous waste generation. Sustainable product purchasing efforts span from transportation and energy to recycled and biobased content.
