| ● The Introduction of the Green Procurement made by Various Nations Worldwide |
Nations |
The Green Procurement Promotion Conditions |
U.S.A. |
Federal government
Year 1991--The president of the U.S.A. ordered government must make preferential purchase on green product.
Year 1995—The U.S. EPA issued the green product procurement instruction to the federal government as the instruction when procuring green product.
State governments
Various measures adopted by the state government are:
(1) Price Preference Policy：Regenerated material pricing is 5 to 15% higher than the non-regenerated material with the same functions.
(2) Set-aside purchasing：Annual regenerated material procurement proportion is 50% .
* The reasons of not preferential purchase on green product: the price is too high, no enough bidders present, manufacturers can not give the product on time, and the function is suitable for use. |
Canada |
Central government
(1) The government made instruction and Stocked Item Supply published green procurement instruction.
(2) The EPA promoted green mark labeling mechanism in 1988, and the government preferentially procured regenerated materials.
(3) Government Services Canada created preferential price making measures (15% is highest)
(4) Build up the database for regenerated materials’ procurement quantity and buyers.
(5) Make procurement contract standard.
(6) Promote joint procurement within various governmental agencies.
(7) Make propagation instruction.
Each state government
(1) Offer loans to the company to encourage them purchase green products.
(2) Make propaganda to the manufacturers.
(3) Hold various green product shows. |
Japan |
In June, 1995, Green Government Operation Policy started to make green procurement principles, executive schedule, and demand that must be complete before year 2000. The policy demands all the governmental agencies must operate the procurement until year 2000 and in 1997 will have a review on the performance. This policy defines green procurement mechanism for governmental agencies. |
Switzerland |
The government does not mandate the green procurement in its federal, state, and local government. The green procurement is a mechanism between free trade and environmental protection sense. |
Germany |
The green mark labeling mechanism is started on 1979 and the government made preferential procurement of green product.
The green procurement principles are: no waste of the product, no use of bad quality, the product must be long –life used, recyclable, repairable, and easily to dispose of. |
Denmark |
The energy and environmental protection department jointly developed the sustainable product procurement policy in 1991. In August 1994, sustainable public procurement policy was developed. In 1995, this policy was revised, and specified the procurement and consumption detail. |
