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:
- Construction Products
- Landscaping Products
- Nonpaper Office Products
- Paper and Paper Products
- Park and Recreation Products
- Transportation Products
- Vehicular Products
- Miscellaneous Products
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.
Raw data is available for the Consolidated Recovered Materials Advisory Notices (RMAN) for the Comprehensive Procurement Guideline (CPG).
