Best Buy Launches Second TV Pilot Program

This week Best Buy has rolled-out an expanded pilot program in which the electronics retailer is uniquely merchandising EPEAT-registered televisions.

 

The pilot program is underway in approximately 200 stores nationwide. It is an expanded version of a similar program that ran in two test markets during Q4 2013.

 

Best Buy's pilot program includes signage that specifically identifies EPEAT-registered TVs. It also includes training for sales representatives to better inform customers about the environmentally preferable devices.

Responsible Purchasing Network Webinar Discusses EPEAT-Registered Electronics

Recently Green Electronics Council (GEC) staff participated in a webinar hosted by the Responsible Purchasing Network and State Electronics Challenge. The webinar attracted public and private purchasers who wanted to learn best practices for identifying and procuring environmentally preferable electronics.

 

GEC staff was invited to discuss the EPEAT system and how it can help prospective purchasers select EPEAT-registered products.

 

Although the webinar discussed all three current EPEAT categories, its organizers chose to focus on Imaging Equipment.
