Size doesn’t matter
The latest technology for recycling ink
franker cartridges is proving good news
for the environment and delivering
great value to the business community.
Through specialised equipment at office
and mailroom solutions specialists
Totalpost Services Plc’s head-office in
Cumbria, used cartridges are put through
a comprehensive cleaning and testing
process to ensure they are fit for re-use
and are then filled with new ink and
sold for a fraction of the price of a new
cartridge, but are still just as reliable.
More than 95 per cent of recovered
cartridges are recycled and this year alone,
more than 25,000 cartridges have been
saved from landfill and remanufactured.
“Laid end to end, the cartridges would be
longer than a line of 227 double-decker
buses,” said Totalpost’s Compliance Manager,
Bruce Lenton.
