“Post-consumer” material is “material or finished product that has served its intended use and has been diverted or recovered from waste destined for disposal, having completed it life as a consumer item. Post-consumer material is part of the broader category of recovered material.”

“Recovered Materials” refers to waste materials and by-products which have been recovered or diverted from solid waste, but does not include those materials and by-products generated from, and commonly reused within, an original manufacturing process

1 Consolidated latex paint used for covering graffiti, where color and consistency of performance are not primary concerns.

2 Reprocessed latex paint used for interior and exterior architectural applications such as wallboard, ceiling, and trim; gutterboards; and concrete, stucco, masonry, wood, and metal surfaces.

3The recommended recovered materials content for rubber railroad grade crossing surfaces are based on the weight of the raw materials, exclusive of any additives such as binders or additives 4 The recommended recovered materials content levels for steel in this table reflect the fact that the designated items can be made from steel manufactured from either a Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) or an Electric Arc Furnace (EAF). Steel from the BOF process contains 25-

30% total recovered materials, of which 16% is post-consumer steel. Steel from the EAF process contains a total of 100% recovered steel, of which 67% is post-consumer.

(B) BIDDER’S CERTIFICATION

Bidder certifies that the construction product(s) which the bidder is offering contains the required minimum percentage of post-consumer and recovered material content as shown above for the product.

(C) MANUFACTURER/MILL CERTIFICATION

In addition to the Bidders Certification in Subsection (B), a manufacturer certification must be completed and signed by the manufacturer before payment will be made to the successful bidder for the delivered items. The enclosed

Manufacturer/Mill Certification form must be used. Bidders are not required to submit the completed and signed

Manufacturer/MIll Certification form with their bids. THE COMMONWEALTH SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO PAY FOR THE

ITEM(S) UNTIL A PROPERLY COMPLETED AND SIGNED MANUFACTURER/MILL CERTIFICATION IS SUBMITTED FOR THE DELIVERED

ITEM.

(D) ENFORCEMENT

Awarded bidders may be required, after delivery of the construction product(s), to provide the Commonwealth with documentary evidence that the construction product(s) were in fact produced with the required minimum percentage of post-consumer and recovered material content.

“Post-consumer” material is “material or finished product that has served its intended use and has been diverted or recovered from waste destined for disposal, having completed its life as a consumer item. Post-consumer material is part of the broader category of recovered material.”

“Recovered Materials” refers to waste materials and by-products which have been recovered or diverted from solid waste, but does not include those materials and by-products generated from, and commonly reused within, an original manufacturing process.

“Re-refined oil” is oil that is manufactured with a minimum of twenty-five percent basestock made from used oil that has been recovered and processed to make it reusable as oil. Once the oil has been refined, no difference can be detected between re-refined and virgin oil.

Bidder certifies that the vehicular product(s) which the bidder is offering contains the required minimum percentage of post-

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania recognizes that paper products are universally made with scrap material recovered from the manufacturing process; use of such materials is a standard practice, both efficient and economical for the paper maker; therefore, bidders of paper products need not certify that their products are made with “pre-consumer,” “recovered.” or “secondary” paper fiber.

Bidder certifies that the paper product(s) which the bidder is offering contains the required minimum percentage of post-consumer content as shown above for the product.

In addition to the Bidders Certification in Subsection (B), a mill certification must be completed and signed by the mill before payment will be made to the successful bidder for the delivered items. The enclosed Manufacturer/Mill

Certification form must be used. Bidders are not required to submit the completed and signed Manufacturer/Mill
