Purchasing Consortiums in the Great Lakes / Buying Better

Buying Better

Delta Institute is happy to introduce Buying Better. We partner with suppliers to provide purchasers with preferential pricing on a suite of sustainable products, and access to information, training and other resources they require to make and implement sustainable purchasing decisions.

Buying Better will harness the large scale purchasing power of private organizations to achieve quantifiable environmental gains with respect to toxic use reduction, resource efficiency, and waste minimization and elimination.

The initial suite of products will be those desired by Building Owners and Facility Managers throughout the Chicagoland region who are interested in greening their buildings' operations and maintenance.

Visit www.buyingbetter.org for more information.
