article 8 - ENVIRONMENTALLY PREFERABLE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES The University is subject to several interacting initiatives and federal and DOE requirements related to sustainability, including waste reduction, Recycled Content Products (EPA Designated Products), Biobased (BioPreferred®), energy efficient products (EnergyStar®), environmentally preferable and energy efficient electronics (EPEAT® and Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) Designated Products), Non-Ozone Depleting Alternative Products (SNAP) and Water Efficient Plumbing Products (EPA Watersense®). The University also implements State of California requirements on packaging and electronic waste recycling.

The subcontractor must deliver products and services in compliance with this article which implements the requirements of DOE’s Sustainable Acquisition Program, as well as other federal- and state-mandated sustainability requirements.

In the performance of this Subcontract, the Subcontractor must specify, furnish, and use environmentally preferable products and services (i.e., products and services with a lesser or reduced effect on human health and the environment), to the maximum possible extent consistent with the Subcontract requirements herein, the General Provisions, and the intended end use of the products or services. The University generally considers the requirements practicable unless a specific program exception applies. Refer to SFTool.gov/Vendor Resources for links to sustainability resources and information on environmental programs the University and its suppliers/subcontractors are required to comply with, including exceptions.

DOE Order 436.1.A. In addition to the above programs, DOE Order 436.1.A requires:

The subcontractor must maximize, to the extent feasible, the procurement of materials and operations with lower embodied emissions and alternatives to ozone-depleting substances and high global warming potential hydrofluorocarbons.

The subcontractor must minimize, to the extent feasible, the supply of products and services determined by the EPA to be contaminants of emerging concern (CEC), including pharmaceuticals and personal care products and CECs found therein. The subcontractor shall provide Safer Choice labeled products under this subcontract, as applicable. The subcontractor is encouraged to visit https://www.epa.gov/saferchoice for updated lists of qualifying products.

The subcontractor must minimize the supply of products with toxic and hazardous characteristics, and minimize the generation of toxic and hazardous waste, to the maximum extent practicable.

E-Waste Recycling Requirements. All recyclers of electronic equipment must be e-Steward certified by the Basel Action Network (BAN).

For any equipment removed by the subcontractor and scheduled to be refurbished or recycled, the subcontractor must attest that those actions will be handled by a refurbisher or recycler that is third-party certified to one of the known electronics recycling certification programs that is used in the United States, the Responsible Recycling Standard (R2) or the E-Stewards Standard.

Information on environmentally preferable products and services is also available at: https://www.epa.gov/contracts/greening-government-procurement. State of California sustainable procurement information can be found at: https://ucop.edu/procurement-services/for-suppliers/sustainable-procurement/sustainable-procurement-training-resources.html Questions regarding these sustainable acquisition requirements may be directed to the University Sustainable Procurement Representative (Business-Assurance-Sustainable@lbl.gov).

A. Packaging The subcontractor must minimize the supply of single use items including single-use plastic foodware (e.g., plates, cups, utensils, beverage bottles and bags).

The subcontractor must make good faith efforts to utilize smart-size packing; to customize box sizes in order to reduce packaging waste, and to minimize the number of shipments per order.

Recycling practices and methods should be used to minimize the adverse effects on the environment. The subcontractor must use every reasonable effort to use cardboard and paper-based packaging materials for shipments to the University.

Packaging Requirements

All packaging must be compliant with the California Toxics in Packaging Prevention Act (California AB 455). and must meet all additional standards and requirements set forth in the UC Sustainable Practices Policy.
