PostConsumer Recycled-Content Certification

This document is a certification form issued by the California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) as part of the State Agency Buy Recycled Campaign (SABRC), a mandatory state program requiring all California state agencies to report purchases within 16 specified product categories and verify recycled content. Contractors and vendors are required to certify in writing the minimum percentage of postconsumer recycled-content (PCRC) material in products, materials, goods, or supplies offered to the State, regardless of whether the product meets statutory minimum requirements. The certification must be provided under penalty of perjury for all purchases within the SABRC product categories, including paper products, printing and writing papers, soil amendments, glass products, lubricating oils, plastic products, paint, antifreeze, tires, tire-derived products, metal products, vehicles, building finishes, carpet, erosion control products, textiles, and pavement surfacing. For the interpretive panels contract requesting 69 high-pressure laminate (HPL) panels measuring 36 inches in height by 48 inches in width, vendors must declare the postconsumer recycled content percentage and identify the applicable SABRC product category code.

The certification form requires contractors to complete fields identifying the state agency, purchasing agent, purchase order number, contractor/company name, address, and specific product or service descriptions with corresponding PCRC percentages and SABRC category codes. Minimum postconsumer content requirements vary by product category, ranging from zero percent for certain textiles to 100 percent for compost filter socks, compost blankets, and hydraulic mulch products. The form permits certification based on written product verification sources such as labels, catalogs, manufacturer websites, or vendor advertisements, eliminating the need for formal written certification if content can be verified through these means. Agencies may waive certification requirements if postconsumer content is verifiable through such documentation. Contractors sign and submit the form certifying under penalty of perjury that all information provided is true and correct.

Phone: E-mail:

The State Agency Buy Recycled Campaign (SABRC) is a state mandated program that requires the reporting of all purchases made within 16 specified product categories. All state agencies are required to verify the recycled-content of all products purchased within each of these categories.

All businesses shall certify the minimum percentage in writing to the contracting officer or his or her representative, if not the exact percentage, of postconsumer recycled-content (PCRC) material in the products, materials, goods, or supplies offered or sold to the State regardless of whether the product meets the minimum content requirements specified in law (see reverse side). The certification shall be furnished under penalty of perjury. The certification shall be provided regardless of content, even if the product contains no recycled material. A State agency may waive the certification requirement if the percentage of postconsumer material in the products, materials, goods, or supplies can be verified in a written advertisement, including, but not limited to, a product label, a catalog, or a manufacturer or vendor Internet website.

FOOTNOTES:

1. “Postconsumer recycled-content material” is defined as products that were bought, used, and recycled by consumers. For example, a newspaper that has been purchased, recycled, and used to make another product would be considered postconsumer material.

2. “Product category” refers to one of the categories listed below, into which the reportable purchase is best placed.

3. If the product does not belong in any of the product categories, enter “N/A.” Common “N/A” products include wood products, aggregate, concrete, and electronics such as computers, TV, software on a disk or CD, and telephones.

4. For reused or refurbished products, there is no minimum content requirement. (PCC 12209(l))
