University-wide Contracted Supplier, SUPRA/Office Depot recently notified us that TreeFree (formerly known as TreeZero) paper inventory is constrained due to the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, TreeFree paper will no longer be available for purchase in the SUPRA punchout. TreeFree paper is a sustainable alternative to ordinary paper, made from a sugarcane byproduct.
SUPRA/Office Depot has the following alternative paper options available for purchase through the PantherExpress System, when printing is necessary:

As a reminder, the University encourages the use of digital design and production services in place of traditional printing when possible, as part of the University’s sustainability goals. Visit this page for information about the University resources and University-wide Contracted Suppliers that departments should utilize for digital design and production services and for when traditional printing is required.
For tips and resources about making sustainable purchases for your department, visit the Sustainability Initiatives section of the Purchase, Pay & Travel website.
We will provide an update once the supply of TreeFree (formerly known as TreeZero) paper is no longer constrained or there are additional alternatives.
