The UK Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) manages the government's 'Buy Sustainable Quick Win' standards, to grade products according to their environmental credentials. The scheme covers IT equipment, white goods, paper and construction materials, amongst other categories. Buying Solutions has worked with Defra to launch the new 'Greenticks' initiative. This makes it easier to identify which products meet the government sustainability standards on the Buying Solutions online catalogue. Products meeting the mandatory minimum standards are marked with a 'Greentick' symbol, while those meeting the more demanding best-practice standards are marked with a 'Greentick-plus'. All Canon multifunctional printers meet the best practice Quick Win standard 'Greentick-plus'.
