Salamanca Press, July 18, 2024 —
WEST VALLEY — CH2M HILL BWXT West Valley (CHBWV), the prime contractor to the U.S. Department of Energy at the West Valley Demonstration Project, was recently announced as a Leader in Sustainable Electronics Procurement with a 2023 EPEAT Purchaser Award, celebrating leaders in sustainable electronics procurement.
The award comes from the Global Electronics Council (GEC), the non-profit organization that manages the EPEAT ecolabel. EPEAT allows CHBWV to efficiently address the lifecycle impacts of the electronics they purchase, including computers, displays, printers, copiers, network equipment, mobile phones, servers, photovoltaic modules, inverters and televisions.
CHBWV uses EPEAT in purchasing contracts to require that our vendors only provide electronics that meet strict sustainability criteria. These products are more energy efficient, less toxic, longer lasting and easier to recycle than products that do not meet EPEAT criteria while addressing labor and human rights issues along the entire supply chain.
