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.
