How is INFORM helping governments to choose products without PBTs?

Purchasers often wish to consider the environmental attributes of the products they buy, but they do not always have the time and/or resources to do so on their own. INFORM's knowledgeable staff can help:

• Determine which products contain PBTs.
• Research the cost, performance, and availability of safer alternatives.
• Recommend bid specifications and contract language that require or give preference to alternatives.
• Assist in evaluating environmental claims submitted by vendors.

The following case studies are available in PDF format:
