A brief description of the time period from which the figures reported above are drawn (i.e. one-year time period or representative sample):
In September of 2017, the University of Ottawa entered into a new contract for its sanitary service provider. All products under this new contract are EcoLogo certified. Unfortunately the data from the previous service provider is not available. Therefore the time period measures from Sept 18, 2017 to February 14th, 2018 (a six month period).
