There is a newer version of the New York Consolidated Laws
2006 New York Code - Purchase Of Recycled Paper Products.
* § 6-122. Purchase of recycled paper products. a. When purchasing paper products made with and without significant recycled content, recovered from materials otherwise destined for disposal, the department of citywide administrative services shall, wherever the price is reasonably competitive and the quality adequate for the purpose intended, purchase the recycled product. For the purpose of this section the term "recycled paper" shall mean any paper products which have been manufactured from materials otherwise destined for the waste stream including, but not limited to, old newspapers, magazines, paperboard, boxes, tabulating cards, mixed waste, used fibrous materials such as rags and overstock or obsolete inventories from distributors, wholesalers, printers and other companies as defined in rules and regulations promulgated by the commissioner provided that the term "recycled paper" does not include those materials and byproducts generated from, and commonly reused within an original manufacturing process. "Reasonably competitive" shall mean a comparable recycled product with a cost premium of no greater than ten percent. b. The department of citywide administrative services shall review its own paper product procurement specifications and consider those of the State of New York in order to establish realistic recycled content standards and to eliminate, wherever feasible, discrimination against the procurement of products manufactured with recovered materials. The department of general services shall submit a report on recycled paper procurement activities to the mayor and the city council eighteen months after the effective date of this section. * Repealed January 1, 2007
