Recycled Paper Program
Purpose
To recognize departments who are
participating in the University of
Houston�s recycled paper purchasing
program by providing rebates and
other incentives.
Effective Date
The University of Houston�s official
recycled paper purchasing program is
through Today�s Business Solutions.
Eligible purchases will be counted
starting April 1, 2010.
Criteria
The following criteria will be used
to determine which departments
receive incentives from this
program:
1. In order to receive incentives
from the program, departments will
need to purchase recycled paper with
at least 30% recycled content from
Today�s Business Solutions. Recycled
paper is also available with 50% and
100% recycled content.
2. Only departments that purchase
more than $100 of recycled paper
during the six month evaluation
period will be eligible for the
incentives. The first evaluation
period will be from April 1, 2010 to
September 30, 2010.
Incentives
1. Eligible departments will receive
a 5% rebate of the total recycled
paper purchased from Today�s
Business Solutions during the six
month evaluation period.
2. The four departments that
purchase the most recycled paper
from Today�s Business Solutions
during the first evaluation period
will each receive 20,000 HP points
from the university�s HP Rewards
program. HP points are awarded to UH
when it purchases HP products and
may be used to purchase a variety of
items, such as HP printers,
scanners, fax machines, and
maintenance packs within the
parameters of the HP Rewards
program. Points awarded following
the initial evaluation period must
be used by December 31, 2010. The
number of HP points distributed
during future evaluation periods
will depend on the number of points
accumulated campus-wide.
3. Other incentives may be awarded
as they become available.
Awarding of Incentives
1. Incentives will be awarded twice
a year based on eligible purchases
during the following periods: April
1- September 30 and October 1-March
31.
2. Calculation of incentives will be
based on purchase data provided by
Today�s Business Solutions during
the semi-annual evaluation periods.
