Recycled-Content Paper Procurement Webinar
The R3 team recently hosted an SB 1383 Recycled-Content Paper Procurement webinar, which consisted of sharing tools and resources related to the required purchases of recycled-content and recyclable paper products.
R3 works with clients throughout California and understands that jurisdictions are at various levels of compliance with these procurement requirements. Common challenges related to the requirements include the lack of a consistent internal procurement process, decentralized purchasing, the increased expense of compliant paper products, and a scattered record-keeping history. R3 shared some best management practices for confronting these challenges and also opened the floor for peer-to-peer resources sharing. R3 is always inspired by the experience of the jurisdictions we serve, and we believe we can all make better progress by learning from each other’s trial and errors, as well as successes!
R3 hosted the first Recycled-Content Paper Procurement webinar on February 27, 2025 and a follow-up session on March 5, 2025. Two sessions were held because we believe the opportunity to ask questions and share resources in a live setting is vital to meaningful progress toward effective compliance.
