Environmentally preferable purchasing The county has successfully used 100% recycled paper on a trial basis and is working to make high recycled content paper standard in all offices. The county uses cleaning products certified by Green Seal™ in all of the facilities it manages, and all computers purchased by the county must have a minimum EPEAT performance rating of Silver. Office furniture and carpeting for county office buildings are purchased only from vendors that have programs in place to recycle products once they have reached the end of their useful life. Through participation in the Mid-America Regional Purchasing Cooperative , the county is working to expand its green purchasing program. The cooperative provides an important forum in which local governments can share their experiences in using green products and to establish new cooperative purchasing contracts for environmentally-preferable goods.
