Scotland’s first university, founded in 1413, is aiming to reach net zero carbon by 2035 through the application of a comprehensive Environmental Sustainability Strategy and Sustainable and Ethical Procurement Policy. Following a competitive tender process, the University selected Agilico to provide a managed print service (MPS) for its 3,000 staff and 10,000 students based on circular economy principles, a measurable reduction in Scope 3 carbon and local support. The MPS includes a blended fleet of 131 Agilico Zero remanufactured Ricoh A3 multifunctional devices (with lifetime guarantees) and 21 brand new Ricoh A4 machines for specialist and lower-use areas, plus PaperCut MF software for secure authentication and reporting. Agilico says the decision to deploy a fleet in which 86% of devices are remanufactured has saved 69.64 tonnes of manufacturing-related carbon emissions, with further reductions in energy-related CO2 emissions achievable through Ricoh’s Eco Mode, which can reduce electricity consumption by up to 84.3% generating a financial saving of more than £5,000 across the contract term. Agilico Workplace Technology recently became the first independent MPS provider in the UK to achieve BSI Kitemark certification for remanufacturing. www.agilico.co.uk Dan Kitchen
