Made from recycled cardboard, each container measures 600mm high, 480mm wide and 400mm deep and can take up to 60 used cartridges from any copier or printer technology. The Edinburgh-based social enterprise partnered with Glasgow packaging firm WM Watson to produce the boxes which are available for distribution throughout the country to third sector commercial, corporate and government organisations. It costs £30 per box transaction, with a dedicated SP&C team on hand to replace them every three months, or sooner should demand dictate an earlier uplift. Envirobox is the latest initiative from the rapidly expanding social enterprise, which recently opened its first office in Glasgow on the back of £250,000 funding from Social Investment Scotland. Chief executive Ian Gray hailed the Envirobox initiative as one of the company’s most significant developments since its formation four years ago. www.socialprintandcopy.org Xerox authorised Insite Business Technology has been appointed a Xerox partner and authorised service provider.

The Cwmbran-based company is the OEM’s only exclusive partner in South Wales. Group Technical Director and co-owner Simon Lacey said: “Having worked with other technology providers before setting up our own business, it was always clear that Konica Minolta is a great brand with excellent technology. Its products are very reliable, and in a business environment, avoiding breakdowns is of course vital for our customers, but it was also a big consideration for us as a startup company. Back in 2003 we were also seeing a big move over to digital print and Konica Minolta offered a colour machine which was taking the market by storm at that time, all factors which persuaded us that this was the partnership for us.” Solutions In Technology recently earned another well-respected Konica Minolta Service Accreditation Award, reflecting its commitment to service excellence. Richard Wilkins, Group Sales Director and fellow co-owner said: “We want our customers to be happy with us from day one and to continue their journey with us. We still have customers that have been with us from the start in 2003 and who are on their fifth or sixth Konica Minolta machine. Our customers are very happy with the service they get, which is proof we are taking the right approach.” www.sitgroup.co.uk • www.konicaminolta.co.uk Jodie Carroll
