Stockton encourages environmentally preferable purchasing in city operations, prioritizing recycled-content goods, energy-efficient equipment, and lower-emission vehicles consistent with state procurement mandates.
Through administrative purchasing policies and California state mandates such as the Buy Clean California Act for public works materials, Stockton purchasing favors products with recycled content, EPEAT-registered electronics, ENERGY STAR equipment, and zero or low-emission fleet vehicles. The policy applies primarily to city departments rather than residents or private businesses. SB 1383 organics rules also drive procurement of recycled-content paper and compost.
Non-compliance with state procurement mandates can affect grant eligibility and bid awards; private parties are not directly penalized under the city policy.
