A brief description of the time period from which the figures reported above are drawn:
Dawson used Domtar’s Earthchoice 30 (FSC 30% post-consumer recycled paper) for half of the reporting year of 2022 year (Dawson buys bulk amounts with a college consortium). As of the late summer 2022 only SFI Certified paper was used. Several depts in the second half of the year still bought their own Domtar Earthchoice 30 paper to add another 10% of the total purchased. 60% of all paper used that year was FSC 30% post-consumer recycled.
