Environmental Relief Potential of Urban Action on Avoidance and Detoxification of Waste Streams through Green Public Procurement (RELIEF)

01.02.2001 - 30.11.2003
Forschungsförderungsprojekt
The main target of the RELIEF Project is the analysis of the influence of public procurement con-cerning the development and availability of environmentally preferable products. Therefore the most relevant product groups, associated with public procurement, for environmental relief are identified in the RELIEF cities. Methodologies for analysis and quantification of the environmental relief po-tential and socio-economic aspects are developed. As a result of the project, environmental relief po-tentials are calculated for different scenarios on the European level. These results will be used for an integrated strategy of European cities in the field of green purchasing to catalyse the implementation of recommendations for European policy as well as to provide guidelines for green purchasing prac-tices.
