Smarter Print Fleet Reduces Costs and Carbon in Schools
- A growing number of school trusts are turning to Managed Print Services to rein in spiralling print related costs and inefficiencies, a trend driven by mounting pressure on tight budgets and energy usage.
- Many schools remain burdened by outdated, high consumption multifunction devices that drive unnecessary expenditure and carbon emissions.
- There’s strong sector demand for print infrastructures that are cost efficient, secure, environmentally responsible, and aligned with wider trust sustainability goals.


£18,248 projected energy cost saving over the five year contract, achieved by transitioning the Trust’s 47 device fleet to Ricoh technology.

71.7% reduction in CO₂ emissions, equivalent to 12.5 tonnes avoided across the contract term, directly supporting DfE Sustainability & Climate Change Strategy commitments.

Increased number of devices provided at the same overall price the Trust was already paying, delivering more capacity without additional budget impact.

11% saving on a like-for-like basis, proving the commercial solution delivers immediate efficiencies as well as long term sustainability benefits.
