Sustainable Product Demonstrations
The Sustainable Products Center (SPC) identifies sustainable product need areas through outreach activities to Department of Defense (DoD) Installations, Military Departments and DoD Components. The SPC reviews these need areas to identify sustainable product demonstration opportunities. The SPC then examines performance requirements, identifies sustainable demonstration products and performs product demonstrations in coordination with demonstration stakeholders.
DoD personnel may also communicate their sustainable product need areas to the SPC via an online survey, available at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/STEDNeedIDSurvey. Identified need areas will be evaluated and potentially result in future product demonstrations.

Demonstration Approach
- Identify product need areas / applications through outreach to DoD installations, Military Departments and DoD Components
- Engage DoD installations as potential demonstration sites
- Identify associated equipment and processes
- Work with Stakeholders to establish requirements for candidate demonstration products
- Identify potential demonstration products and engage product manufacturers
- Evaluate products versus established requirements to select candidates for demonstration
- Develop a demonstration plan to outline demonstration activities, target technical requirements, site preparation and equipment requirements, procedures and parameters, data collection procedures, demonstration schedule and responsibilities of all organizations involved in the demonstrations
- Coordinate demonstration activities and compile demonstration results
- Develop a demonstration report to document demonstration activities, analyze collected data, and provide the results of the demonstration
- Engage stakeholders to recommend NSNs for successfully demonstrated sustainable products
- Perform outreach activities to increase the awareness of sustainable products across DoD
