Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
CSU Buy Recycled Products Campaign
Campuses shall establish purchasing practices that assure, to the maximum extent economically feasible, the purchase of materials, goods, and supplies that are recycled or have recycled material within their content.
Fitness and quality being equal, purchase preference shall be given to recycled products whenever such products are available and the cost of such products is no greater than that of their non-recycled counterparts.
The detailed requirements of the Buy Recycle Campaign are established by the State.
Campus responsibilities:
1. Purchase Recycled Content Products (RCP) instead of non-Recycled Content Products (RCP) if fitness and quality are equal and the RCP is available at no more than the total cost of the non-RCP. However, campus procurement officers shall allow a price preference for recycled paper and tire derived products.
2. Require all contractors to certify the recycled content of all RCP purchased. For all products, contractors shall be required to certify in writing the minimum percentage, if not the exact percentage, of post-consumer material in the materials, goods, (or supplies) provided or used. This certification shall be furnished under penalty of perjury.
3. Attain the RCP procurement mandates. Campus procurement offices shall strive to meet or exceed the legislative goals and timetables prescribed by the California legislature for the acquisition of recycled products.
4. Submit Buy Recycle procurement reports annually. Campus shall submit to the Office of the Chancellor Buy Recycled reports in accordance with due dates specified on the CSU Contract Services and Procurement Policy Reporting Requirements Schedule.
5. Establish purchasing practices that ensure the purchase of materials, goods, and supplies that may be recycled or reused when discarded.
