Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
At UIC, there is no centralized database of purchases of products with recycled content. In fact there is no central database of purchases in general. However, we have a central purchasing system called iBuy where most purchases are made and there is preferred vendor pricing. This data was obtained from Office Max data that comes in through I-Buy and represents an increasingly larger portion of total office supply purchases. It also includes the Academic Computing Center which runs the student printers and they purchase 100% recycled content paper.
