Paper and office supplies

AV整氈窒 has a Sustainability Policy which provides paper procurement and use requirements.

Paper purchased by AV整氈窒 units should be purchased at the AV整氈窒 Print Centre which offers 100% post-consumer paper as the base paper for the university. Both in Halifax and at the Agricultural Campus, the base office paper is (Forestry Stewardship Council) or (Sustainable Forestry Initiative) certified.

If you have any questions, please contact the Print Centre at (902) 494-6428 or print.centre@dal.ca.

Office supplies agreement

AV整氈窒 currently has a purchasing agreement with Staples Advantage.泭Look for the EcoEasy logo to identify products that meet Staples eco-conscious criteria:

- 30% post-consumer recycled content, or more.
- Third-party standards and certifications such as Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), GreenSeal, Rainforest Alliance, ENERGY STAR, and Crade to Crade, among others.
- Other eco-design elements such as biobased plastics, rapidly renewable materials, and agricultural residues (ex. sugarcane by-products).

Purchasing tips

- look for products that are durable, long-lasting, and refillable
- buy office supplies in bulk to minimize packaging and delivery trips
- minimize the amount of packaging material and that packaging is reused or recycled.
