Recyclable, recycled and environmentally sound products are encouraged throughout the UC system. UCI operates its own second-hand store that specializes in finding continued life for used equipment and supplies, while diverting these items from the landfill.
Specific sustainability practices are written into agreements with various vendors:
• Elimination of packaging where applicable
• Use of recyclable packing materials, bio degradable or non-toxic
• Take-back programs that require recycling
• Use of recyclable materials
• Availability and highlighting of green options
• e-Steward Certification for recycling of electronics
