PIKETON, Ohio – The U.S. Department of Energy Portsmouth Site (PORTS) has recognized North Wind Dynamics as a 2025 EPEAT Purchaser Award winner, celebrating leaders in sustainable electronics procurement. The award comes from the Global Electronics Council (GEC), the non-profit organization that manages the EPEAT ecolabel. EPEAT allows PORTS to efficiently address the lifecycle impacts of the electronics purchased for the site, including computers, displays, printers, copiers, network equipment, mobile phones, servers, photovoltaic modules, inverters, and televisions.
EPEAT is used in purchasing contracts to require vendors only to provide electronics that meet strict sustainability criteria. These products are more energy efficient, less toxic, longer lasting, and easier to recycle than products that do not meet EPEAT criteria, while addressing labor and human rights issues along the entire supply chain. Purchasing sustainable electronics demonstrates the commitment PORTS has in sustainable practices and proactive environmental management.
As a winner, PORTS received a calculation of the environmental and cost benefits associated with our EPEAT-registered purchases, as demonstrated in the infographic provided by GEC.
“I am extremely proud of our team for earning the voluntary program EPEAT Purchaser Award for the 11th consecutive year. This achievement reflects the team’s dedication to responsible sourcing, environmental stewardship, and continuous improvement. The
team’s efforts not only drive operational excellence, but also set a standard for sustainable practices across the site.” Damon Detillion, North Wind Dynamics Project Manager
