4.1.3.3 Detergents Sustainable Public Procurement Criteria Table Table 11 - Detergent Sustainable Procurement Criteria Table Sustainable Detergents Phosphate free detergents Biodegradabl e detergents Eco Labels / Certifications Cost (+/-%) Performance (High/Medium/Low ) Supplier Availability (Local Importer & Manufacturer/Inter national) 0% Medium Local Importer International +3-5% Medium International Water saving detergents High International 4.1.3.4 Sustainable Detergent Status in Lebanon The study found that detergent providers are fully aware as to the harm caused by the chemicals used during the manufacturing process. Water consumption needs to ignite efficiency of detergents, the energy required, and the disposal of packaging waste.But end users demand higher efficiency which might be compromised when shifting to alternative detergents. In addition there is a lack of public awareness and labeling. Finally, It is highly recommended to start different public initiatives to educate the public and mainly the main users of detergents. 50
4.1.4 Pesticides Since the bulk of the end users (i.e. farmers) are of limited education, pesticides are of the hardest products to study. Indeed, given that the concept of sustainability is out of their humble understanding, their utmost concern is efficiency, effectiveness and the costs of such products. However the experts in the pesticides category are aware of its sustainability issues but still an almost complete absence of a clear labeling scheme in the Lebanese market. Internationally the sustainability aspect is well explored. 4.1.4.1 Sustainable Category Products a- Bacillus Thuringiensis Bacillus Thuringiensis (or Bt) is a Gram-positive, soil-dwelling bacterium, commonly used as a biological alternative to a pesticide; alternatively, the Cry toxin may be extracted and used as a pesticide. Bacillus Thuringiensis also occurs naturally in the gut of caterpillars of various types of moths and butterflies, as well as on the dark surface of plants. During sporulation many Bt strains produce crystal proteins (proteinaceous inclusions), called δ-endotoxins, that have insecticidal action. This has led to their use as insecticides, and more recently to genetically modified crops using Bt genes. There are however many crystal-producing Bt strains that do not have insecticidal properties. b- Pyrethrin It is derived from certain chrysanthemum flowers. It is a non-systemic insecticide with contact action. Normally, combined with synergists it increase insects toxicity. Pyrethrin attacks the nerves, causing paralysis followed by death. Pyrethrins knock insects down quickly, hence their use indoors to control nuisance insects. Pyrethrins alone provide limited crop protection because they break down quickly. The many product labels list a wide range of insects and mites in public health, indoor/outdoor plants, food/feed storage areas, animal houses, on domestic and farm animals. 51
