Purchasing
Green Purchasing
UC gives preference to environmentally friendly products whose quality, function, and cost are equal or superior to more traditional products.
UC construction standards require sustainable products to be used in our buildings.
The Department of University Duplicating tries to buy sustainable if at all possible. We use as much recycled paper or SFI certified products as possible.
In our system about 3% of the paper we use is at least 30% recycled and the other 97% or so is Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) certified. – http://www.sfiprogram.org/
The vast majority (approx. 97%) of our paper meets the requirements of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative certified comparable with Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). – http://www.fscus.org/
