Provista Launches Environmentally Preferred Purchasing Online Product Catalog As part of its ongoing dedication and commitment to sustainability in education, Provista LLC, in collaboration with Novation, its contracting services company, announced that it has launched an Environmentally Preferred Purchasing (EPP) product online catalog. The new catalog aims to assist members in achieving green purchasing objectives in specific functional areas. The catalog is organized by traditional organization service areas for ease of use. Products and services are highlighted within the catalog with descriptions of their environmental benefit and product images. The catalog allows materials managers to look at a variety of issues when considering their purchasing options. The Environmental Benefit section offers buyers extended information about why the product is an EPP product, using descriptions such as “recycled bottle”; “bag-in-box uses less material and carton is recyclable”; “super concentrated”; “lower odor”; or “reusable.” The online catalog is available at www.provistaco.com.
