- Potential to divert products and packaging from landfill
- Amount of material and type of material used to produce the product
- Amount of material, energy or water an instrument uses
- Product toxicity and/or use of hazardous chemicals compared to similar products
- Integration of the world goals in tenders
- Consolidating orders
