What is one requirement for any additional EPP practices?

The requirement for any additional EPP (Environmentally Preferable Purchasing) practices focuses on the need for unique practices that specifically aim to reduce waste. By developing practices that are innovative and not recognized in any current category, organizations can contribute to more effective waste management strategies. This approach ensures that new solutions are continually sought out, fostering an environment where improvement in waste reduction can be achieved.

This aligns with the spirit of EPP, which encourages organizations to think outside the box and to adopt practices that could lead to more sustainable consumption and production methods. Simply adhering to existing guidelines, enacting unrelated practices, or eliminating current purchasing practices do not address the goal of finding effective alternative methods for reducing waste and promoting sustainability. The focus on originality in waste reduction encourages proactive change and adaptation to emerging challenges in waste management.
