Does the institution use recycled content napkins in its dining service operations?:
A brief description of the purchasing behavior:
Mount Holyoke uses 100% bleach free recycled paper napkins that are 100% post consumer waste. Napkins are put in baskets on tables in the dining halls so that students take only what they need. Eco-friendly napkin dispensers are present in Blanchard Café, Torrey Grab n' Go and Atrium Cafe to serve the same purpose as the baskets in dining halls. Since the napkins are a 100% bleach free recycled napkin and are 100% post consumer, they can also be disposed of with MHC's post-consumer compost.
