Environment/Superfund ENV
Participated in a telephone survey conducted by an EPA contractor of the agency's Environmentally Preferred Purchasing policies. Urged release of the Section 13 Inter-agency Product Standards and Ecolabels Sub-Working Group report containing a set of recommended guidelines for government agencies. Discussed BIFMA's position on elimination of flame retardants in products with EPA Design for the Environment (DfE) staff at a Green Chemistry Conference. Encouraged EPA's Deputy Assistant Administrator, Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, to bolster voluntary programs like DfE and Green Suppliers Network (GSN). Suggested that EPA work closely with White House Council on Environmental Quality to make sure these programs along with Energy Star and all others (USDA biopreferred, etc.) are not duplicative or out of proportion with other environmental impacts.
