A brief description of the time period from which the figures reported above are drawn (i.e. one-year time period or representative sample):
This data includes expenditures from Stanford's primary waste contractor, DTZ (now known as C&W), as well as Stanford Athletics' waste contractor, TQM for calendar year 2015. Note that TQM also purchases USDA Certified Biobased Products ($49,558.43 spend in 2015) and Rapidly Renewable Fiber products ($15,593.87 spend in 2015), which are not included in the criteria for this credit but also have sustainability attributes. Only $3,021 out of the $114,865 total TQM janitorial paper product spend in 2015 was for non-rated conventional products, but only $46,692 is Green Seal/FSC certified, which is the amount claimed in this credit for TQM's janitorial paper purchases.
