This section is part of the implementation of RCRA
of 1976 as amended (42 USC 6901) which requires that
EPA designated items be used to the maximum extent
practicable.
One of the requirements of 40 CFR 247 is that
agencies promote the use of products containing
recycled materials. Parts of this guide
specification are only promotional in nature in that
they recommend or encourage, in lieu of requiring,
the Contractor to use products containing recycled
materials. Therefore, consideration should be given
to using a properly edited version of this guide
specification in every project.
The detailed requirements regarding use of products
containing recycled materials are contained in other
technical sections of the specifications.
