About this file
This is a Recycled Content Certification form issued by the California Department of Water Resources, a state agency under the California Natural Resources Agency. The form serves as a standardized certification document that vendors, bidders, and contractors must complete and submit to certify the postconsumer recycled material content in products, materials, goods, or supplies offered to the state. Vendors are required to provide the minimum percentage, or exact percentage if available, of postconsumer material in their products regardless of whether the products meet state-specified minimum content requirements. The certification must be completed under penalty of perjury and submitted to the Department of Water Resources Recycling Coordinator at the Purchasing Services Office in Sacramento. The form requires vendors to identify specific products by name, brand, and product number, classify them into designated product categories, and declare the percentage of postconsumer recycled material contained in each item.
The form establishes minimum content requirements that vary by product category, ranging from 10 percent postconsumer content for metals and plastic to 80 percent recovered materials for compost and mulch products. Paper products, printing and writing materials, and glass products must contain 30 percent postconsumer fiber by weight, while paint products must contain 50 percent postconsumer paint (or 10 percent if higher percentages are unavailable due to air quality restrictions). The certification must comply with Federal Trade Commission Environmental Marketing Guidelines and California Public Contract Code Sections 12200-12217 and 12153-12156. State agencies may waive certification requirements if postconsumer material percentages can be verified through written advertisements, product labels, catalogs, or manufacturer or vendor websites. Reused or refurbished products are exempt from minimum content requirements.

1. Postconsumer material comes from products that were bought by consumers, used, then recycled. For example: a newspaper that has been purchased and read, next recycled, and then used to make another product would be postconsumer material.
If the product does not fit into any of the product categories, enter “N/A”. Common N/A products include wood products, natural textiles, aggregate, concrete, electronics such as computers, TV, software on a disk or CD, telephone.
2. Product category refers to one of the product categories listed below, into which the reportable purchase falls. For products made from multiple materials, choose the category that comprises most of the product by weight, or volume.
