The Procurement Department, Copy Technology Centers, and the
Environmental Programs Task Force (EPTF) collaborated on a green
goods procurement program, initially focusing on the largest volume
goods procured on campus-paper products. For calendar year 2001,
MIT's procurement of green or recycled products totaled about 20%
of all purchases, including 75% of office paper purchases. The Copy
Technology Centers, the largest paper user on campus, now uses recycled-content
paper for virtually 100% of their standard copies and well over
95% of their specialty copying.
Please consider using Environmentally Preferred Products whenever
possible. The EPTF has produced a "Top Ten" list of Environmentally
Preferred Products, which includes information that can be used
when ordering via the Electronic Catalog (ECAT).
