GREEN OFFICE SUPPLY PURCHASING GUIDE SUSTAINABILITY OPPORTUNITY Stanford University spends millions of dollars each year on office equipment and the energy used to power these devices. Help your department reduce its carbon footprint by purchasing one of these suggested items through Amazon Business and SmartMart. These items have been vetted for sustainable materials and/or energy conservation. SUSTAINABILITY KEY: Products fall into 1 of 5 categories (least to most sustainable): Not Green, Meets Eco-Norms, Light Green, Mid-Green, and Dark Green. Products claiming unverified green attributes (e.g. carbon-balanced manufacturing, made with less packaging, made with renewable energy, non-GMO) are categorized as Supporting Green Claims. This system is based on Office Depot’s Shades of Green sustainability framework.
