Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

The numbers reported on in this credit on expenditures for office paper purchased were for a reporting period of September 2010 – August 2011.

McCallum Print is one of UAlberta's preferred suppliers. Their information is not included in the numbers above as they are involved in providing printing services, not office paper as the credit indicates. Forty-five per cent of McCallum's jobs for the university are done using recycled content stock and the vast majority of the print jobs (97 per cent or more) are printing using third-party certified paper.

Of the jobs using recycled content paper, the range of recycled content is between 15 to 100 per cent with an overall average of 30 per cent.
