T
he Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) manages 4.8 million items across eight
supply chains, including some traditionally hazardous materials.
DLA wants to help its customers ‘buy green’ and to do so, it has set up the
Hazardous Waste Minimization (HAZMIN) and Green Products Program at DLA
Aviation in Richmond, VA.
The team gives advice and practical assistance to authorized users of the federal
supply system. They can help supply personnel identify and obtain environmentally
sustainable or ‘green’ products.
Partial funding is also available for military HAZMIN projects that may result in
adopting less hazardous products or processes throughout DOD.
Some examples of DLA’s green products
and services include:
•± less±hazardous/less±polluting±
aircraft±spot±cleaners±and±degreasers
•± re-reFned±motor±oil
•± recycled±antifreeze±
•± bio-based±penetrating±lubricants
•± recycled±absorbents±
•± wet±battery±consignment±program
The HAZMIN and Green Products
Branch will be a key partner in the
military’s efforts to comply with Executive
Order 13514. This presidential mandate
requires that 95 percent of new contract
actions are for products and services that
are energy efFcient, water efFcient, bio-
based, environmentally preferable or non-
ozone depleting, and follow criteria set by
the Environmental Protection Agency and
the US Department of Agriculture.
