New copy paper recycled content requirements for departments support sustainability efforts
To support sustainability efforts across 91°µÍø, new limitations are placed on the type of copy paper departments will be able to purchase through Office Depot
As of Aug. 1, copy paper purchased by 91°µÍø departments is required to contain 30% minimum post-consumer recycled content. All other office paper (copy paper) will be blocked in the NetPAC / Office Depot catalog to help reach this goal.
- If a department has a project or requirement to use non-recycled paper, those requests can be supported with proper justification or explanation of services. Please send those requests to purchasing@miamioh.edu.
- All requests will be reviewed on an individual basis, and no blanket requests for exemption will be approved.
- Please address any questions to purchasing@miamioh.edu.
This requirement aims to contribute to 91°µÍø’s sustainability efforts, including decreasing the use of paper. 91°µÍø recently received its third STARS Gold rating for sustainability achievements from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education.
