Abstract
Recent data on institutional catering in Italy stren- gthen the role of GPP as an economic policy tool be- cause it is able to reduce the direct environmental im- pact of public activities and to represent an example of environmental awareness, and also because of the possibility of encouraging the integration of environ- mental considerations into other policies (transport, energy, etc..) and to exert pressure on the market to offer goods, services and works with low environmen- tal impact, promoting the development of technolo- gies and production chains, the growth of businesses and green jobs. In the case of the use by universities of GPP for the purchase of food, intended mainly for student canteens, there is also the additional purpo- se of encouraging the student population to adopt conscious choices and lifestyles consistent with the principle of sustainability. The paper focuses on the progressive refinement of European and national le- gislation and on the prospects for the development of regulation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
