Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
UM uses Paper Cut, a program that tracks printing at all centralized and distributed printers across campus with few exceptions. We had IT generate a report for us that listed the printers around campus in order of greatest number of prints jobs in FY19. Using that list, we reached out to the top 5 paper users (which were significantly bigger users than even those in places 5-10 on the list) to see how they purchase copy paper. GrizMart, our procurement database and portal, provided access to invoices and totals for 3 of the 5 top 5 users. The other 2 departments shared their invoices via email. Office of Sustainability staff researched the paper that was purchased to determine FSC rating and % recycled content. The total dollars spent does not represent all paper purchased across campus, but it does represent the FY19 total spend on paper purchased by the top 5 printers on campus.
