Environmental Purchasing Bulletin #97:
2005 Annual Report

PLEASE NOTE:  These bulletins, published since 1997, are historical.  The content is not updated.


Introduction

Today's bulletin features the King County Environmental Purchasing Program 2005 Annual Report, which details recycled and other environmentally preferable purchases by County agencies for the past year. During this time, King County agencies purchased 30.5 million dollars worth of environmentally preferable products, including items such as toner cartridges, biodiesel, and hybrid cars. In addition to again increasing King County's level of support of markets for these materials, these purchases also brought $675,000 in savings to County agencies.

We would like to thank all of the King County agencies that contribute to this effort year after year.

Environmental Purchasing Program

The King County Environmental Purchasing Program assists County agencies in implementation of King County Executive Policy CON-7-1-2, which requires agencies to use recycled and other environmentally preferable products wherever practicable.

The program assembles information about these products and makes it available to specific agency users who can evaluate them and develop applications in County projects.

These environmental purchasing bulletins contain information about the results of product evaluations and other accomplishments of County agencies. We hope this information will help you find ways to use recycled materials in the work of your agency and that you will contact us if we can help you with further information or if you have suggestions.
