Abstract

While the concept of environmentally preferable purchasing by federal agencies is not a new initiative by any means, it has been pursued with never-before-seen vigor under the Clinton Administration. The concept goes back in law to at least the 1976 amendments to the Solid Waste Disposal Act, more commonly known as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Section 6002 of that statute created a dual approach by which EPA designated items with recycled content and buying federal agencies had an obligation to buy the designated goods. These are sometimes called “guideline goods.” For almost 20 years, however, only a handful of products (cement containing fly ash, re-refined oil, retread tires, paper and building insulation materials) were designated, and even then, the federal agencies were essentially left to their own devices as to when purchase of guideline items would be in their interest.

引导联邦政府的环保采购路线
虽然由联邦机构进行环保采购的概念无论如何都不是一项新举措,但在克林顿政府时期,这一概念得到了前所未有的大力推行。这一概念至少可以追溯到1976年的《固体废物处理法案》修正案,即更广为人知的《资源保护与回收法案》(RCRA)。该法规的第6002条创造了一种双重方法,通过这种方法,环境保护局指定了含有回收成分的物品,购买联邦机构有义务购买指定的物品。这些有时被称为“指导商品”。然而,在将近20年的时间里,只有少数产品(含粉煤灰的水泥、再精炼的石油、翻新轮胎、纸张和建筑绝缘材料)被指定,即使在那时,联邦机构基本上也只能自己决定何时购买指导项目符合他们的利益。
