It’s been seven years since President Clinton issued the Executive Order on recycling -- all federal agencies are supposed to use recycled copy paper exclusively -- and “Recycled Material Advisory Notices” have been issued by EPA for a host of products.
But it wasn’t until March 1998 that the General Services Administration stopped selling virgin copy paper. Are federally-funded agencies really using recycled products? Which states and cities are aggressively buying? Have their programs influenced corporate buying? What are the secrets to successful programs and policies?
This 1998 report asks the tough questions -- and provides concrete analysis. All 50 states have policies or laws on recycled purchasing -- 33 have a price preference and 23 have set-asides.
President Clinton signed a new Executive Order Sept. 14, 1998, which puts some teeth into recycled paper
mandates for federal agencies. Get the scoop in our new report.
The Guide catalogues more than 200 purchasing preference laws in 50 states, including 171 local government Ordinances on a
22-page table. 110-page report includes sample laws, ordinances, specs, and purchasing resources for those who sell to state government.
