Buy Recycled Steps to Buying Recycled Committing to a Buy Recycled program for your business is a step in the right direction. Not only will you establish a practice that is environmentally sound, you'll also send an important message to employees, manufacturers, suppliers, and the general public.
Organizations come in all shapes and sizes and so do Buy Recycled programs.
If you're a small organization, you may not feel the need to issue policy statements, establish set-asides, or review specifications. You can simply start requesting and buying recycled-content products. Check with your current suppliers or visit any office supply store. Most carry a wide variety of recycled-content products. If you're part of a large organization, you may want to consider a more comprehensive program that is tailored to your organization's purchasing policies and procurement procedures.
