16 review its procurement procedures and specifications related
17 to the purchase of products or supplies. Such procedures and
18 specifications shall be modified as necessary to require the
19 procuring agency to seek out products and supplies that contain
20 recycled materials, and to ensure that purchased products or
21 supplies are reusable, durable or made from recycled materials
22 whenever economically and practically feasible. In choosing
23 among products or supplies that contain recycled material,
24 consideration shall be given to products and supplies with the
25 highest recycled material content that is consistent with the
26 effective and efficient use of the product or supply.
