Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
These figures are based on office paper expenditures and were provided by the university's preferred supplier Grand&Toy.
Depending on eco-attributes and labels, product categories at Grand & Toy range from "Not Green" over "Light" and "Mid" to "Dark Green". Features of each paper grade were harmonized with STARS criteria. "Mid Green" is a fairly broad category, as 30% to 89% of the materials consist of postconsumer recycled content and/or are GreenSeal/EcoLogo/Blue-Angel certified. Since this category spans the breadth of three STARS criteria outlined above (30-49 percent post-consumer recycled, 50-69 percent post-consumer recycled, 70-89 percent post-consumer recycled), the expenditures on "Mid Green" office paper were equally divided between the three areas.
