A brief description of steps the institution has taken to ensure that the purchasing policy, directives, or guidelines are followed :
UNLV Purchasing has worked hard, through the formal solicitation and contract negotiation processes, to make available to the campus departments recycled content office paper through selected suppliers. Availability, pricing, and compatibility have been considered when selecting these suppliers. In support of this effort, UNLV Purchasing has hosted an Office Products Sustainable Showcase the past three years during which our contracted office paper suppliers demonstrate the selection of paper products they offer. Note: on the web page - http://purchasing.unlv.edu/GREEN/policy.html - please see the section entitled 'Long Term Commitments, Products Containing Recycled Content'
