| materials, bins or containers for storing materials, and
| 2 |
| contractual or other arrangements with buyers of recyclable | 3 |
| materials. If
market conditions so warrant, the Department of | 4 |
| Central Management
Services, in coordination with the | 5 |
| Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, may modify | 6 |
| programs developed pursuant to this Section.
| 7 |
| The Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (now | 8 |
| Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity) shall conduct | 9 |
| waste
categorization studies of all State facilities for | 10 |
| calendar years 1991,
1995 and 2000. Such studies shall be | 11 |
| designed to assist the Department of
Central Management | 12 |
| Services to achieve the waste reduction goals
established in | 13 |
| this subsection.
| 14 |
| (c) Each State agency shall, upon consultation with the | 15 |
| Department of
Commerce and Economic Opportunity,
periodically | 16 |
| review its procurement procedures and specifications related
| 17 |
| to the purchase of products or supplies. Such procedures and
| 18 |
| specifications shall be modified as necessary to require the | 19 |
| procuring
agency to seek out products and supplies that contain | 20 |
| recycled materials,
and to ensure that purchased products or | 21 |
| supplies are reusable, durable or
made from recycled materials | 22 |
| whenever economically and practically
feasible. In choosing | 23 |
| among products or supplies that contain recycled
material, | 24 |
| consideration shall be given to products and supplies with the
| 25 |
| highest recycled material content that is consistent with the | 26 |
| effective and
efficient use of the product or supply.
