In accordance with loa § 5b, climate and/or environmental considerations shall as a starting point be weighted at least 30% of the award criteria in the competition. The requirement can, however, be replaced or combined with climate and environmental requirements in the requirement specifications, if this gives a better climate and environmental effect. REG has come to the conclusion that a combination of requirements and criteria that safeguard climate and environmental considerations will clearly give the best climate and environmental effect in this competition. Tenderers are required to offer environment and climate measures instead of allowing the tenderer to offer this or not, will, thus, provide better climate and environmental effect, cf. kofa case 2024/639. The contracting authority requires that the bags contain a minimum of 30% of recycled plastic, as well as the supplier and production activities being certified in accordance with ISO 14001 or equivalent. The bags shall also be distributed with zero emission or biogas vehicles. In addition to this, tenderers can offer a larger share of recycled plastic in the bags, and any additional fulfilment will give points in the evaluation. The transport distance between the production place and the operational warehouse for a number of kilometres will also be weighted under the environment criteria, as as minimum environmental footprint is wanted around this. The minimum requirements are strict and ambitious and challenge tenderers to stretch. Additional fulfilment is wanted, and REG therefore considers that the competition ́s minimum requirements must be supplemented with a climate and environment criteria that is weighted 15%.
