Products

A key component of the CPG program is EPA's list of designated products and the accompanying recycled-content recommendations. EPA has already designated or is proposing to designate the products listed below. They are grouped into eight categories:

EPA also published final or proposed recycled-content recommendations for each item. All proposals, designations, and recommendations are published in the Federal Register.

This Web site contains a brief description for each of the designated products listed below. You also can view EPA's recommended recycled-content ranges and access a Supplier Directory which includes manufacturers, vendors, and suppliers for each item.

Note: CPG products do not include biobased products. EPA’s web site does not have information on them. Biobased products are designated by the US Department of Agriculture as a requirement of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act (2002 Farm Bill), Section 9002. Information can be found on the USDA BioPreferred web site.
