Section 40-A. Recycled products

All products purchased by the courts shall
  be recycled products, which meet  contract  specifications,  unless  the
  product  is  only  available without recycled content, and provided that
  the cost of the recycled product does not exceed a cost premium  of  ten
  percent  above  the  cost of a comparable product that is not a recycled
  product or, if  at  least  fifty  percent  of  the  secondary  materials
  utilized in the manufacture of that product are generated from the waste
  stream  in  New  York  state,  the cost of the recycled product does not
  exceed a cost premium of fifteen percent above the cost of a  comparable
  product  that is not a recycled product. For the purpose of this section
  and until July first, nineteen hundred  ninety-six,  "recycled  product"
  shall  mean  any  product  which  has  been  manufactured from secondary
  materials,  as  defined  in  subdivision  one  of  section  two  hundred
  sixty-one  of the economic development law, and meets secondary material
  content requirements adopted by the office  of  general  services  under
  subdivision  one  of  section  one  hundred  seventy-seven  of the state
  finance law for products available to the courts  under  state  contract
  or, if no such contract for such product is available, any product which
  meets  the secondary material content requirements adopted by the courts
  with respect to a specific commodity procurement by the  court.  On  and
  after  July first, nineteen hundred ninety-six, "recycled product" shall
  mean, for the purposes of this  section,  any  product  which  has  been
  manufactured  from secondary materials, as defined in subdivision one of
  section two hundred sixty-one of the economic development law, and which
  meets the requirements of subdivision two  of  section  27-0717  of  the
  environmental  conservation  law  and  regulations  promulgated pursuant
  thereto. Whenever purchasing or causing  the  purchase  of  printing  on
  recycled  paper  pursuant  to this section, the courts shall require the
  printed  material  to  contain  the  official  state  recycling   emblem
  established  pursuant  to  subdivision  two  of  section  27-0717 of the
  environmental conservation  law  and  regulations  promulgated  pursuant
  thereto   if   such  paper  has  been  approved  by  the  department  of
  environmental  conservation  as  satisfying  the  requirements  of  such
  statute  and  regulations,  or,  if such paper has not been so approved,
  require the printed  material  to  include  a  printed  statement  which
  indicates  the  percentages  of  pre-consumer and post-consumer recycled
  material content of such paper.
