Does the institution use recycled content napkins in its dining service operations?:
Yes

A brief description of the purchasing behavior:

Campus Dining Services uses a competitive bid system to locate a supplier and then purchases items as needed from the bid winner. With the bulk of purchases from that supplier, cost of goods sold (all food and non-food items) totaled over $6.8 million for the FY2009. CDS has started to emphasize finding supplies that satisfy customer, economic, and environmental standards. The use of recycled-paper napkins occurs in all campus dining facilities.
