A brief description of steps the institution has taken to ensure that the purchasing policy, directives, or guidelines are followed :
There is both systemwide and local policy that provides direction on recycled content office paper. Office paper is generally purchased through the systemwide agreement with OfficeMax. Under this agreement we have negotiated better pricing for recycled content paper than for its virgin equivalent. The campus e-procurement system (UCD-Buy) returns environmentally preferable offerings first when a buyer searches for office paper, which is clearly noted with a an EPP icon. UC Davis Contracting Services also maintain a web page providing EPP information to campus customers (http://purchasing.ucdavis.edu/green/).
