REPORT BY THE                    RELEASED


Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES


Federal Industrial Targets And Procurement

Guidelines Programs Are Not Encouraging

Recycling And Have Contract Problems



Two Federal programs were established by the
Congress to encourage recycling through the
use of procurement guidelines and industrial
recycling targets. GAO reviewed the programs
and the use of contractors on each.


As with other resource recovery efforts, one
or both of the programs have lacked direction,
coordination, needed resources and desired im-
pact. Procurement guidelines intended to en-
courage recycling through Federal procure-
ment of products containing recovered materi-
als have not been issued. The Office of Federal
Procurement Policy has not carried out its
leadership responsibilities for this program. In
addition, the Department of Energy's indus-
trial targets program will not promote recy-
cling because economic factors primarily de-
termine industries' recycling levels.

GAO found that the use of contractors in both
programs points to the need for an overall
Federal contract conflict of interest policy.
