Recycled Content Product Purchasing Data

Business Scenarios

This report is available government wide with the ability to drill down to the Department, Contracting Agency, and other levels. The report is ideal for answering this type of business question:

How many contracts have used the EPA clauses for recycled materials? This information can help determine if agencies were able to purchase materials at a reasonable price or needed to purchase materials with a lower percentage of the EPA Recovered Materials Standard.

For instance, what percentage of materials did GSA purchase that met the EPA standards clause for Fiscal Year 2005?
