Reference information:
I believe it is an error and should be "preferred" rather than "proffered".
***Environmentally preferred products*** are those that reduce waste, improve energy efficiency, limit toxic by-products, contain recycled content or are reusable. Environmentally preferred products are those that employ environmental responsibility in their management and administration and operations.

Asker: Hi Taña, I agree with you. preferred and proffered are two valid English words that will defeat any automated spelling checkers. Thank you!
