(See the May 1, 1995 RMAN for EPA's general recommendations for
definitions, specifications, and affirmative procurement programs.)
II. Specific Recommendations for Procurement of Designated Items
(See the May 1, 1995 RMAN and the May 29,1996 Paper Products RMAN for
recommendations for purchasing previously-designated items.)
Part C--Construction Products
Note: Refer to Section E-2--Plastic Fencing Containing Recovered
Plastic for Specified Uses and to Part F--Landscaping Products for
additional items that can be used in construction applications.
Section C-5--Floor Tiles and Patio Blocks Containing Recovered Plastic
or Rubber
Note: Table C-5 contains a clarification of EPA's
recommendations for floor tiles. Table C-5 originally was published
in the May 1, 1995 RMAN and contained EPA's recommendations for
patio blocks, as well as recommendations for floor tiles. For the
convenience of procuring agencies and other interested parties, EPA
is republishing all of Section C-5, including Table C-5, with both
the floor tiles and patio blocks recommendations. Readers should
note that no change has been made to the recommendations for patio
blocks.
Preference Program: EPA recommends that, based on the recovered
materials content levels shown in Table C-5, procuring agencies
establish minimum content standards for use in purchasing floor tiles
and patio blocks. The recommended use of floor tiles containing
recovered materials is limited to the applications cited in Table C-5.
