A brief description of steps the institution has taken to ensure that the purchasing policy, directives, or guidelines are followed :
Office paper is a large consumption item for the university with millions of sheets consumed each year. Prior to instituting a University-wide policy mandating only >30% recycled paper purchasing across campus, the Associated Students of CSU recommended to the President that the university adopt 30% post consumer waste office paper as the standard paper. In an effort to comply with the recommendation, Purchasing studied the use of this paper in several areas on campus and the feedback received found virtually no discernible difference in performance over regular #4 bond paper for the typical application. 30% PCW office paper is available through State of Colorado price agreements as well as the University Bookstore.
