The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has published the Green Public Procurement: Guidance for the Public Sector to assist public authorities in integrating environmental considerations into their procurement processes. This guidance aims to promote the procurement of goods, services, and works with reduced environmental impacts throughout their life cycles, aligning with Ireland's commitment to a sustainable, circular, and carbon-neutral economy.
By adopting these practices, the public sector can leverage its substantial purchasing power to stimulate the market for more resource-efficient and less polluting options, thereby supporting national environmental objectives.
