The Council on the Environment (COTE) adopted on November 4, 2002,a "30% Recycled Paper Resolution" which recommended that the university central stores phase out and eliminate the purchase of printer and copier paper with 0% post-consumer recycled content and switch to 30% post-consumer recycled content paper.
