What Happens To Your Print Consumable Waste?

When your used print consumables arrive at The Greener Side recycling facility, it isn’t the end of their journey; it’s the beginning of a new one. Each consumable is assessed in order to determine the most appropriate way of dealing with it.

Our aim is simple; to keep your products and materials in use for as long as possible in order to maximise their value and minimise waste.

Your Consumables Journey

Remanufacturing

Remanufacturing – Giving Products A Second Life

Whereby a cartridge or component is suitable for remanufacturing, The Greener Side will process and remanufacture it ourselves, restoring it to the required market standards in order to be placed back onto the market as a fully remanufactured product.

Can’t Be Remanufactured?

Reuse

Reuse – Ensuring Viable Consumables Don’t Go to Waste

Not every cartridge or component will meet the requirements of our remanufacturing operation, or the demand of our markets. That doesn’t mean its useful life is over. Where appropriate, we’ll distribute your items to Approved Recycling Partners, who can use suitable consumables within their own operation or market.

Can’t Be Remanufactured Or Reused?

Shredding

Shredding – Recovering Materials When A Product Can No Longer Be Used

Unfortunately, some consumables arrive damaged beyond repair, are no longer functioning, or simply cannot be remanufactured or reused. These items are shredded at The Greener Side’s Recycling Facility and are broken down into smaller pieces of plastic and metal to be used as raw materials in other product lifecycles.
