Additional documentation to support the submission:
Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Numbers from Caleb Knapton of Procurement and Supplier Diversity Services. Purchases from 3 vendors: The Supply Room Company, BW Wilson, and Lindenmeyr. Suspect some product designations could be missing from data, since it seems unlikely that 40% of UVA's paper is neither FSC nor recycled content. Will hope to improve data in future years.
