FR: Reduce landfill – currently over 85% of OEM cartridges are sent to landfill, with only 15% of OEM products being remanufactured come their end-of-life. Cost savings – between 15 and 50% can be saved by customers who make the switch to remanufactured toners while maintaining levels of quality, performance, reliability and consistency. Achieving circularity – something which should be on the agenda of every business in 2021. Using remanufactured cartridges will reduce a company’s CO2 emissions by 40-60%.
