Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
In Sept - Nov 2013 a pilot study was completed to determine if the main print shop at the IT Campus could switch to 30% recycled content paper. The printing equipment performed well with the new paper, thus going forward all paper will be 30% recycled (unless special situations require different).
Currently the Kingstec Campus is running a pilot assessment to determine if the smaller printers and photocopiers perform as well with recycled content paper. If the results are successful, recycled paper will be purchased at all campuses.
In future submissions, paper purchases and amount of recycled content shall be tracked.
