Choosing the right product is easy when you have the City's help.
In keeping with San Francisco's commitment to the Precautionary Principle, the Board of Supervisors passed legislation in 2005 requiring that all City department purchasers adhere to an approved list of environmentally preferable, or "green," products. The San Francisco Department of Environment created the SF Approved List to share the very best in authoritative green purchasing information within City government and with the world at large. To create the List, we review ingredients, recycled content, energy efficiency, and many other factors, along with collecting reports on product performance.
This is your one-stop shop for over 1,000 green products that:
•SF City Staff are required to buy under City ordinances.
•SF Green Businesses are allowed to use.
•Can be used to green your home, small business or large organization.
Join over 28,000 SF City staff and over 100 SF Green Businesses that try innovative SF Approved Products such as:
•Keyboard dusters with no greenhouse gasses
•Rechargeable batteries that keep their charge for a year (a lot longer than ones you're used to)
•Refillable white board markers
