Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
As of spring 2004, the Provost of Princeton University now requires that all academic departments order 100% post-consumer waste (pcw) paper (Boise Cascade – Aspen 100”) for their standard office needs. This policy excludes the department of Printing & Mailing, which has specialty paper needs, and excludes stationary. The policy came after over a year of negotiations with Boise Office Solutions (the Princeton paper provider) for lowering their recycled paper price and improving paper quality. The Princeton Environmental Oversight Committee, which includes the Purchasing Department and the student group Greening Princeton, initiated the final policy discussions with the Provost’s office.
