EPP = Environment + Price + Performance
EPP is good for our environment. Identifying an environmentally preferable product requires a broad review of impacts that occur during the lifecycle of a product, from its production, use, to its reuse, recycling, or disposal. This analysis provides the information needed to understand impacts. Obviously, the analysis is not simple, and that is why this guide is designed to provide the best information available so there is less work for you.
EPP is best value. When a product creates too much pollution this impact is a cost to those who have to clean it up or get sick from it. The lowest price isn't necessarily the lowest cost. That is what EPP tries to sort out.
EPP is high-quality performance. When a product performs poorly it creates waste and this goes against the very definition of EPP. In other words, a poorly performing product is not environmentally preferable!
