PRINTITRESELLER.UK 41 A Closed Loop Sustainable Solution and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) at a regulated ISO9001 / ISO14001 certified treatment facilities (ATF’s). Closing the Loop ECS’s complete solution for their partners doesn’t stop at recycling. Once a cartridge has been received at their state-of-the-art recycling facility, it will pass through numerous checks which enable the company to evaluate each individual cartridge down to the smallest detail to ensure it meets criteria for their remanufacturing process. If these criteria aren’t met, parts and components of each cartridge will be shredded down into small pieces of plastic and metal so that they can be recycled and reused as raw materials. Cartridges which do meet ETIRA standards and ECS’s own requirements after completing testing and passing through rigorous quality control measures are eligible to be remanufactured back to OEM standard and placed onto the market once again, reducing the need for more raw materials to create brand new products. No Greenwashing Here Before we tell you about our award winning solutions, products and services, it’s important that we make you aware that everything we say is 100% factual. We don’t agree with greenwashing. A large amount of ‘environmentally friendly’ remanufacturers and recyclers actually have a bigger carbon footprint than the ones they’re claiming to have; at ECS we believe that it is completely unacceptable to use ‘sustainability’ as a marketing ploy to mislead consumers into buying products and using services. At ECS, we source, distribute, recycle, remanufacture and sell the finest quality remanufactured, OEM and compatible toners and parts, maintaining the allimportant quality that our partners have grown to expect without compromising on our green credentials. Flying the Flag for UK Recycling Every year over 65 million printer and copier cartridges are sold in the UK alone, with an unthinkable amount of these items (85%) ending up in UK landfill sites or shipped overseas, causing damaging and irreversible effects on the environment, while only 15% are reused or recycled. For ECS, this is intolerable, which is the sole reason behind the creation of ECS The Greener Side – an award winning, fully compliant UK recycling scheme which is offered to all ECS partners. For the last decade TGS has recycled over one million toner cartridges and copier parts every single year, contributing considerably towards the UK’s circular economy and lifting the burden from the industry’s end-users to meet their recycling obligations. TGS is fully licensed and regulated by The Environment Agency; they apply best available Treatment Recovery and Recycling Techniques (BATRRT) and management of waste electrical BUSINESS BRIEFING ECS are at the forefront of the campaign to reduce, reuse and recycle the waste that our products and services produce, while helping to transform the industry’s environmental credentials +44 (0)1427 337 346 www.ecs-uk-ltd.co.uk Remanufactured Toners For Those Who Demand Quality, Performance and Reliability A Fully Compliant Service For Your WEEE Waste www.greener-side.co.uk
