in 2010, UWO made the switch to 100% recycled content office paper at all locations on campus. Academic computing (printers) and Document Services (copiers) evaluated the paper and approved the change. Previously, the university was purchasing 30% recycled paper. In order to make the change, there was a price increase of only 5%.

It features: 100% post-consumer content, offers the same characteristics and brightness as a non-recycled sheet, made without the use of chlorine or chlorine compounds (PCF), laser guaranteed, acid-free, 92 bright, 20 lb., and FSC Chain of Custody certified.
