About this file

This document appears to be an extensive reference guide for Environmental Preferable Product (EPP) certifications and standards across multiple industries and sectors. It encompasses a comprehensive list of third-party environmental certifications, standards, and credentials from numerous organizations including governmental bodies like EPA, USDA, and international entities such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), and various regional environmental certification associations from the United States, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.

The document catalogs environmental attributes and certifications across multiple product categories including building maintenance, repair and operations materials, energy systems, textiles, electronics, packaging, and infrastructure products. Specific certifications cover areas like energy efficiency (ENERGY STAR, Design Lights Consortium), material sustainability (Cradle to Cradle, Green Seal), chemical compliance (RoHS, SNAP), renewable/recycled content, low environmental impact manufacturing, and emissions standards. The comprehensive list provides guidance for procurement professionals seeking environmentally responsible products across diverse sectors, with certifications ranging from zero VOC materials to solar rating, recyclability, and sustainable forestry practices.
