Reducing waste, reusing resources and helping businesses across the North West lower their carbon footprint — one cartridge at a time.
The environment is extremely important to us here at Northwest Printer Solutions. We work closely with our customers and industry contacts to ensure we're doing all we can to improve our — and your — carbon footprint. We offer a number of solutions to help you become a little "greener".
Not only do we conserve valuable fuels, but preventing new cartridges being made also saves energy and reduces the amount of empties entering landfill. Switching to remanufactured cartridges can improve your carbon footprint by up to 60%.
It takes approximately 3 litres of oil and 4 litres of petroleum to produce a single toner cartridge.
97% of a typical cartridge is reusable and can be remanufactured effectively 4–5 times.
In 2008, 1.9 billion printer cartridges were used worldwide — if stacked end to end they would stretch 140,000 miles or 5.5 times around the world.
Compatibles are produced from scratch, usually in a bid to make a cheaper alternative to the original — and are therefore no greener than buying a new toner cartridge. Choose remanufactured for the genuine eco-friendly option.
The number of cartridges entering UK landfill is a huge issue. In the UK alone, 45 million printer cartridges end up in landfill each year — a single cartridge can take up to 500 years to fully decompose.
That's why we're committed to keeping cartridges out of the ground and back into circulation. We offer a zero waste recycling service through our recycling partner — ask us for details on how to responsibly dispose of your empty cartridges.
Switching to greener office products is a great way to improve your organisation's carbon footprint. We offer a growing range of eco-friendly alternatives to everyday office essentials.

Remanufacturing reuses up to 97% of the original cartridge, preventing plastic from entering landfill and saving the oil, petroleum and energy needed to produce a new one from scratch. Switching can reduce your print-related carbon footprint by up to 60%.
Remanufactured cartridges reuse the original OEM shell — cleaned, refilled and tested. Compatible cartridges are made from scratch using new materials, so they offer no environmental benefit over buying a brand new original cartridge.
