A brief description of the time period from which the figures reported above are drawn:
The statistics were derived from 2022 reporting period. We used UniFlow (our copier management software) to calculate the consumption of paper across campus. We then added in the paper metrics from the copy center consumption. It is assumed that the paper substrates used by the campus are generally recycled or FSC mix, as this is the recommendation to all departments as this paper is more economically procurable. Additionally, even if more expensive paper is procured, the limitations in paper source for high quality are generally Hammermill or Southworth brand, which are both sustainable products.
