GPP in practice: Vienna Ecobuy programme Eva Persy, City of Vienna, Environmental Department EU-Taiwan Seminar, December 2012

Overview Background Organisation „OekoKauf Wien“ Development of criteria Examples Communication Benefits Conclusion

City Profile 1.65 million inhabitants special position: (capital) city as well as federal province volume of purchasing budget: 5 billion Euro

GPP and Climate Protection 1 of 3 spearheads of the Vienna Climate Protection Programme (KliP) adopted by the Vienna City Council in November 1999

Structure No extra personell!! Steering team >20 working groups (e.g. building construction, food, cleaning, paper, electrical appliances, vehicle fleet, events, textiles …) 3 consultative commitees  Altogether some 180 internal and external staff

Development of criteria Within working groups About 4 – 6 meetings/year About 10 experts/group staff from relevant departments co-operate with experts from affiliated bodies and external organisations Budget for research, pilot projects,..

data for organic food energy saving devices water saving devices In total 103,000 tonnes CO 2 reduction (selected product groups, 04-07) CO 2 Reduction

Financial Impacts e.g. installation of water saving gate valves in official buildings, public schools and kindergartens  cost reduction by approx. 1.5 Mio Euro/year

International Awards applications from 32 European countries European Public Sector Award (EPSA) 2011 Best Practice Transfer Award 3 Awards; winner: “going green”

Air = most important substance for living: kg/d Europeans nearly 90 % of time indoors Health and Safety at Work (workers) Healthy air for residents Environment protection (as a side-effect) Motivation: good indoor airquality

CMR-substances heavy metals formaldehyde biocides plasticiser (phtalates) VOC SVOC Hazardous substances

Guidance values for TVOCs in indoor air German Federal Environment Agency in new buildings common critical limit target value TVOC [µg/m³] TVOC: (Total Volatile Organic Compounds) measure

Harmonisation of ecological criteria Vienna and other provinces harmonised the ecological criteria for their call for tenders at interior and building construction other organisations followed you are free to use the same criteria! All these tools are freely available on line!

Communication Production of posters, folders, brochures, videos, “hands on-material”: – Examples: Posters/folders explaining the advantages of “fair trade”, brochures regarding energy saving light bulbs, video and game collection explaining background information of organic farming to children

CO 2 Reduction Role model for public Induced innovation Cost reductions for private buyers e.g. organic food Positive effects on health Long term savings Benefits
