Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Though there is currently no policy to require vendors to use less packaging, when large purchases are made bid language requires that the vendor unpack and remove all debris. Also, the percentage of expenditures on FSC certified office paper reported is an estimate based on data that is not exhaustive. Much of the paper UNCG purchases is either FSC certified or Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) certified; however, expenditures on SFI certified office paper are not being reported.
