Bucknell University’s Green Purchasing Policy
In a conscious effort to recognize its role, responsibility and commitment to the community regarding environmental stewardship, Bucknell University will give preference to purchasing goods that are:
• Durable, as opposed to single use or disposable
• Non-toxic, minimally toxic or biodegradable
• Recyclable
• Manufactured locally
• Manufactured with minimal waste
• Free of heavy metals
• Eligible to earn LEED credits
• FSC certified
• Chlorine free
• Energy Star, Green Guard, Green Seal, or Green-e certified
• Low VOC content
• Made from rapidly renewable materials
• Delivered with reduced packaging
These goods shall be selected whenever reasonably practical: the preferable goods are readily available; the preferable goods can perform their intended function generally as well as a non-preferable one; and the cost of the preferable goods are either approximately similar to that of non-preferable goods or their higher initial cost can be justified on the basis of long-term benefits.
