["Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) Best Practices Manual (BPM)"]
["This manual is managed by the DGS EPP program and provides state employees with EPP best practices in accordance with Public Contract Code 12401(e). Choose goods and services with identified EPP recommended ecolabels to make purchases \"green\". Goods or services that have ecolabels are third-party vertified to meet performance and environmental standards. Requiring ecolabels is the simplest way to \"green\" your purchase. The BPM also includes additional best practices that could be incorporated such as recycled content and raw material selection."]

Procurement staff are encouraged to use the following additional verification steps to increase the validity of reported recycled content products bid or sold to the state.\n\n• Request third-party certifications, and/or ecolabels that include recycled content verification, such as:\n     • UL 2809, Environmental Claim Validation Procedure (ECVP) for Recycled Content.\n     • Green Seal standards that require certified post-consumer material (for example Green Seal GS-60, Plastic Trash Bags and Can Liners).\n     • Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) – FSC Recycled: Products that bear this label have been verified as being made from 100% recycled content (either post-consumer or pre-consumer reclaimed materials).\n     • Forest Stewardship Council – FSC MIX: Products that bear this label are made using a mixture of materials from FSC-certified forests, recycled materials, and/or FSC controlled wood.\n     • Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) Global Services - Recycled Content Certification\n     • SCS Global Services - Recycled Content Standard for Electrical and Electronic Equipment\n• Review product documentation: Check product specifications, descriptions, or documentation provided by the manufacturer or seller. Some companies may provide detailed information about the recycled content percentage and the source of recycled materials used in the product.\n• Request product labels: Some product labels or markings on the product packaging may indicate the percentage of recycled content. Many manufacturers voluntarily disclose this information to inform consumers about the environmental attributes of their products.\n\nBy following these steps, you can verify the recycled content percentage of products for purchasing decisions."]
