Paper

UDS venues use recycled paper napkins. In 2007, over 6,354,000 paper napkins made from recycled materials were used on campus. The amount of napkins purchased in 2007 is 846,000 less napkins than used in 2006. UDS restaurants and office locations also use 30 percent recycled paper. UDS 2007-2008 meal plan brochures were printed on recycled paper, using soy-based inks. Paper napkins are among the products being composted in Residential Restaurants, Coffman Memorial Union, St. Paul’s Terrace Café, Carlson Dining, Bistro West Restaurant, and Continuing Education & Conference Center dining areas.
