Wood Wyant Inc for custodial supplies & janitorial paper
The University of Waterloo is currently under contract with Wood Wyant for the majority of our janitorial paper needs including hand towels & toilet tissue. These are composed of 100% post consumer recycled content.
Spicers Paper Products
The University of Waterloo currently holds a systems contract with Spicers Paper Products. Spicers has a variety of different options available for those interested in using paper products with varying degrees of recycled content at competitive pricing relative to virgin paper. Though these do vary in brightness, consider dedicating one drawer of your photocopier to Envirocopy for interoffice use. Instead of Tidal Multipurpose 8.5 x 11 Virgin Paper, choose:
Repro Plus Brite 8.5 x 11 with 30% post consumer recycled content or
Envirocopy 8.5 x 11 100% recycled content
For a greener experience, place your orders on-line at Spicers -
