The unit assists businesses that want to locate, expand, or form a joint recycling business in New Jersey. Within the state procurement system, the unit has the responsibility, as outlined in Executive Order 91, to monitor state agency procurement for recycled content vs. non-recycled content products. The unit works closely with, and provides staff and other support for, the Buy Recycled Business Network of New Jersey. As recyclers accomplish one goal, the Unit encourages them to set higher goals and work towards those. The Unit functions as a clearinghouse for new ideas, which in turn, must be reviewed with an eye towards applicability in New Jersey.
Information is disseminated and shared with the recycling community.
