We established the goal that Colgate would no longer purchase non-recycled paper by 2012 in our 2011 Sustainability and Climate Action Plan. That goal was met and 2012 was the first year in our history where only recycled content paper was purchased and used on campus. Furthermore, in 2012, we also purchased over 4,000 lbs of tree-free, carbon neutral paper.
