Does the institution have an institution-wide stated preference to purchase office paper that has recycled content and/or is certified to meet multi-criteria sustainability standards for paper?:
A copy of the paper purchasing policy, directive or guidelines:
The paper purchasing policy, directive or guidelines:
ISU requires that anything printed for public distribution must be printed on recycle content paper. Order forms allow for an opt-out option for specialized non-recycle content paper.
A brief description of steps the institution has taken to ensure that the purchasing policy, directives, or guidelines are followed :
The Printing Services Department works with vendors to insure recycling content in over 90% of what ISU buys. There is one of our copier papers, that can be requested, that does not have recycled content. That stock is noted as such. However almost all of the copier paper orders come in requested for recycled content. Both on our order form and online, the stocks are noted to recycled content.
