New bulk purchase initiative

One Planet Products is working with partners within the construction and refurbishment industries to increase the supply and quality of sustainable building products and services. OPP is a bulk buying initiative specifically focused on sustainable and environmental products and materials for the construction and refurbishment industry, primarily in the residential sector.

It will be a member owned club and will provide the members (housing associations, private developers and contractors) with a mechanism through which they will be able to purchase environmental products, materials and services more cheaply and more easily.
It will provide suppliers with an opportunity to access a broad group of customers whose combined purchasing power represent a significant percentage of the UK market. Suppliers will join a select group of companies offering high quality and good value products to the One Planet Products members.

It will also provide a forum for knowledge sharing and information dissemination among members, suppliers and other industry bodies about existing and new environmental products and services.

One Planet Products is led by sustainability specialists BioRegional Development Group. BioRegional has been involved in sustainable development projects for over 10 years, including the UK's largest eco-village, BedZED.
