Our Services:
Printers are very difficult to recycle. Unlike other computer equipment, their use of plastics is extensive. Our aim is to reduce waste associated with the recycling of printers as much as possible. Due to the high plastics content, elimination of waste entering the landfill chain cannot be totally eliminated at present. All Computer laser printers and Photocopiers such as HP, Cannon, Epson and Lexmark are passed on to our Engineer for refurbishment and re-distribution within Britain only
Toner cartridges are removed and sent for reconditioning. Our Engineer is able to offer the refilling of toner cartridges, thus removing waste produced by these from the landfill chain. The result is a carbon footprint very close to zero.
Laser Printers are re-used wherever possible by our in-house engineer, either to help maintain existing units or to provide worthy causes with a useful low cost printing solution.
Where printers are found to be functional we always endeavor to ensure they re-enter the consumer chain either inside or outside Britain, hence reducing the carbon footprint associated with their manufacturing.
Printers found to be obsolete or beyond reuse are recycled. The steel chassis is melted down for metals extraction.
