§ 149-2. Standards.  


Latest version.
  • To the maximum extent practicable, the following standards should be adhered to:
    A. 
    For all purchases of printing and writing paper for in-house use or custom printed materials by professional printers, including copier paper, offset paper, forms, stationery, envelopes, tablets, notepads and file folders, the minimum content standards shall be no less than 20% post-consumer recycled materials to meet the current state and federal minimum standards. This minimum standard may be increased to 30% beginning December 31, 1998, to match the scheduled increase in federal minimum standards.
    B. 
    Town departments shall ensure that all contracts for printing require the inclusion of an imprint identifying the recycled content of the paper whenever practicable, along with the recycling symbol.
