Green Purchasing

Office Depot is the main supplier of office products. Office Depot Greener Office Delivery Service uses tote bags, rather than boxes, in the packaging and shipping of products weighing less than 20 pounds. The bags are lighter and use less wood fiber, and can be recycled in the blue bins across campus or taken home for personal use.  Currently, the College’s Office Depot purchases comprise approximately 44 percent of such eco-friendly products, which include items such as paper, hanging and standard file folders, ink and toner cartridges, self-stick notes, pens, binders and accessories.  Eco-friendly products will soon be indicated within the purchasing system to make these alternatives even more convenient.
