Recently, the Integrated Workplace Acquisition Center (IWAC) hosted a sustainability roundtable discussion where various industry partners shared their best sustainability practices.
The companies that attended offer products and services from the following commodity areas: furniture, furnishings, technologies and electronics, and sports and recreation. They discussed their success in various categories:
Waste Prevention
Reductions of wastes through changes in design, manufacturing, use of materials, amount of toxicity
Recycling
Activities that help recover materials from the waste stream through outreach, collection, separation, re-use
Affirmative Procurement
Effective and innovative programs for the purchase and use of recovered materials
Environmental Preferability
Use or products/services which reduce adverse impacts on human health and the environment, process improvements and testing that result in environmental benefits
Model Facility
Environmental stewardship through leadership, investment in resources, change in culture
GSA works hand-in-hand with industry partners to reduce the environmental impact of the federal government, eliminate their carbon footprint and provide federal agencies with the most sustainable products and services available.
