The PWR SWATeam submitted a recommendation to the iWG stating, "The campus should implement the approved paper policy draft in order to increase required recycled paper content."
See attached the SWATeam recommendation PWR009 Paper Policy complete with comments from all the PWR SWATeam members.
At the PWR SWAT Team meeting on March 15th, the team debated over the message in the new Ethics Compliance Message concerning recycling standards and rules. The team decided that two videos should be created, one with base instructions for recycling, the other for explaining the commonly misunderstood paper policy. The team will look more into the paper policy draft and suggest a new paper policy for the campus.
At the PWR SWATeam meeting on Feb. 22nd, the team discussed the current campus paper policy. The team will work on reviewing and improving the paper policy to ensure all departments are meeting standards for recycled paper content and identifying reasons for lack of participation.

At the PWR SWATeam meeting on Feb. 3, the team reviewed the status of the Illini Gadget Garage. It is going very well, and they have hired students to help promote and market the open hours.
This policy proposal was taken to the University Administration SAVPAC committee that decided not to implement it at this time. Associate director for campus sustainability, Ben McCall gave the SWATeam two reasons: 1) the UA representatives thought this should perhaps be handled at the campus level, and 2) they thought the paper purchased on campus was already primarily paper with recycled content.
