EPA's Comprehensive Procurement Guideline (CPG) program helps agencies "close the loop" by buying recycled products. EPA published a series of product resource guides summarizing information on:
- The CPG program;
- EPA's recovered materials content recommendations;
- Case studies from around the country, and;
- Key resources, associations and websites.
There are nine resource guides, including one for each CPG product category.
You may need a PDF reader to view some of the files on this page. See EPA’s About PDF page to learn more.-
