EPA Pushes Procurement of Materials From Recovered Waste

摘要

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is revising the list of items designated in the Comprehensive Procurement Guidelines' landscaping products category to promote the use of materials recovered from solid waste, according to an agency news release.rnEPA is expanding the description of "compost" from yard trimmings and food waste to include compost from biosolids and manure, but does not limit the designation to specific types of organic materials. In addition, EPA has added fertilizer made from recovered materials as a designated landscaping item.
