Recycling does not work without end-markets. In addition buying recycled <br /> products supports the development of green technologies, creates jobs and strengthens the local <br /> economy, and promotes and supports a more sustainable lifestyle. When manufacturers use recycled <br /> material vs. virgin materials to make new products, air and water pollution is reduced, natural resources <br /> are conserved, energy is saved, less water is used, and emissions of greenhouse gases that contribute <br /> to global climate change are reduced. Accordingly, the State of Washington through its procurements <br /> of goods is trying to maximize the purchase of products made from recycled content and to incentivize <br /> its vendors to sell products and products in packaging made with recycled content. <br /> Contractor represents and warrants that, during the term of this Contract, for any product(s) for which <br /> Contractor sought and was awarded an environmental purchasing preference pursuant to RCW <br /> GRANT AGREEMENT NO. 93-103672 Page 11 of 19 <br /> Form update date:2022.05.16 <br />
