The Postal Service won a 2009 White House “Closing the Circle” award for its innovative Green Purchasing Program. Initiated in 2008, the Green Purchasing Program incorporates evaluation of environmentally preferable products into purchasing decisions, along with price, quality and delivery standards. Examples include products made from recycled content or renewable resources, eco-label certified (i.e., Green Seal and EcoLogo) products, Energy Star and Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) registered electronics, water-conserving products, and products free of targeted hazardous chemicals.
