Middlebury Switches to 100% Recycled Content Papers
In keeping with its leadership in sustainability, Middlebury’s Vice President for Academic Affairs, Alison Byerly, announced that the College has adopted a policy to use 100% recycled content (aka post consumer waste – PCW) , process chlorine free paper (PCF) in all printers and copiers and outsourced publications. The College has begun purchasing 100% PCW- PCF paper in place of the 30% PCW-PCF that it previously used for printers and copiers. The shift will see Middlebury reducing its consumption of trees, water and electricity by 300% compared with the 30% recycled content paper it has been using. The increase in cost would be as little as $100 per month. This small difference in cost could be easily offset by a 1.5% decrease in current usage….more.
It makes me really happy to see Middleburry switch to 100%PCW paper. Pixxlz.com: if you didn’t know offers 100%PCW. Not 50%…100%PCW. We’re hoping other colleges and business catch on to how important it is to use a sustainable printers like Pixxlz.com. Don’t think because we’re Green we’re also more expensive. Our prices are cheap, and the reason we do this is to encourage everyone to PRINT GREEN!
