Further, be it resolved that Section 15 shall read as follows: The City shall take the recycled content and recyclability of the products, materials or services into consideration when purchases are being made. Purchase preference shall be given to products manufactured from recycled materials when the price of recycled materials does not exceed the price of non-recycled materials by more than 10%. For example, paper manufactured with 60% recycled fiber content could be priced up to 6% higher and still be competitive. Twenty: percent recylced fiber could only carry a 2% higher price to remain competitive. Nothing here is to be construed as prohibiting more than a 10% price preference in special cases. Additionally, options should continually be explored for decreasing the cost of procurement of goods and services with recycled content such as through cooperative purchasing arrangements.
