(2345 votes)

The Comprehensive Procurement Guideline (CPG) program is part of EPA's continuing effort to promote the use of materials recovered from solid waste. Buying recycled-content products ensures that the materials collected in recycling programs will be used again in the manufacture of new products.

Comprehensive Procurement Guideline:

  1. About CPG/RMAN - describes the CPG program at a high level, and includes a Glossary and Frequent Questions about the program.
  2. Background - provides regulatory information about the CPG / RMAN process, including the first 5 CPG/RMAN Updates.
  3. Products - details the 8 CPG product categories, including all the specific products available, and provides 8 overview Product Resource Guides and a mechanism to suggest a product.
  4. Product Supplier Directory - is an online, searchable database of available suppliers of products in the 8 CPG categories.

The CPG program is authorized by Congress under Section 6002 (PDF) (6 pp, 51 K, about PDF) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and Executive Order 13423 (PDF) (7 pp, 105K, about PDF). EPA is required to designate products that are or can be made with recovered materials, and to recommend practices for buying these products. Once a product is designated, procuring agencies are required to purchase it with the highest recovered material content level practicable.

New Jersey Choice Program, you can now choose what company you buy your energy from you will remain with your current energy company for delivery and you’ll continue to have access to safe and reliable energy.

Green Tip Of The Day

Those spiral fluorescent light bulbs are distinctive looking from your traditional bulb, they also happen to be substantially more efficient. You may not like the glow they project but consider this; if every home in the U.S. replaced just one traditional bulb with an efficiency bulb it would be equivalent to removing a million cars from the road. Just be sure to READ and follow the WARNING and DISPOSAL message on the box.
