In the last 20 years, there has been growing awareness of the need to reduce the amount waste that ends up in landfills. This is due to lack of space as well as waste of resource involved in the disposal method.
Around the world, environmental organizations and government regulators have adopted the Reduce, Reuse and Recycle mantra for making a positive impact on the environment. COLORFULL® has become on of the leading Re-manufacturing corporation in Jordan to operate within the Printing Consumables Recycling Industry in the Middle East. We will collect and remanufacture cartridges; sell and distribute recycled cartridges and wide range of printer accessories. We are based on the belief that remanufacturing is good for the environment and good for consumers too. We will provide consumers and businesses alike the ability to recycle inkjet cartridges an average of three to eight times and remanufacture laser cartridges infinitely Re-manufacturing of printer cartridges involves recycling.
The original laser cartridge shell and some other components are reused. This also applies to inkjet cartridges that are refilled rather than remanufactured; the cartridge shell is simply reused. For every cartridge that is re-manufactured, approximately 1 kilogram of plastic is withheld from disposal. This reduces the amount of non-recyclable plastics from reaching the landfill. The industrial grade plastic used in cartridges take at least 1000 years to decompose and it takes approximately 2 liters of fossil fuel (oil) to produce one new laser cartridge. Re-manufacturing is superior both environmentally and economically. It minimizes waste, conserves energy, reduces pollution and makes economical sense as it saves money. It also creates employment and good business opportunities.
Quoting the Canon Website:”Remanufacturing means refurbishing used products to make them equal in quality to new products. Remanufacturing exerts fewer burdens on the environment than turning parts back into raw materials for input into the manufacturing system or reusing parts in other products.
