Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Data was extracted from 2019 UCOP Green Spend Reporting. Copy paper sales by Office Depot have been considered for reporting.
University of California has a system wide agreement with the company Office Depot for supplying office paper products and the supplier has made a strong commitment to sustainability. UC has worked to make 100% PCRC paper cost comparable to other virgin or lower percent recycled content paper, to incentivize greener purchases across the UC.
This is helping UC Davis to enhance the green office paper spend to meet category specific green spend criteria on office paper per the UC Sustainable Procurement Guidelines (https://www.ucop.edu/procurement-services/_files/sustainableprocurementguidelines.pdf).
