Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Used 887, 969 sheets of paper from June 30, 2016 to July, 1, 2017
This number was multiplied by $0.09, the cost to print single-sided B&W page, to obtain a rough estimate of office paper expenditures.
Muhlenberg uses WEPA printers which provide paper to the Muhlenberg community so the printer paper is supplied directly by WEPA which makes the amount of money spent on paper difficult to track directly.
We have switched to using completely non-recycled paper as the WEPA printers become jammed when recycled paper is used. However, the goal of the WEPA printers is to reduce unnecessary printing as students must pay for each page of paper printed using the money supplied by Muhlenberg and then using their own money if they finish the initial balance provided.
