Not the Cheapest, But the Best Choice for Quality, Compliance, and Sustainability

Why Choose Remanufactured Cartridges from ETIRA Members?

Cheaper options exist, but at what cost? Non-compliant, low-quality new-built cartridges flood the market, harming the environment, violating EU regulations, and offering unreliable performance. We could have made them cheap too, but then:
  • ❌ They wouldn’t meet strict European environmental and safety regulations.
  • ❌ They wouldn’t be independently certified as remanufactured.
  • ❌ They wouldn’t comply with WEEE, REACH, and CE marking requirements.
  • ❌ They wouldn’t support local jobs and the circular economy.
  • ❌ They wouldn’t be built to last and perform reliably.
We don’t settle for cheap, low-quality, non-compliant cartridges—neither should you.

What Are Remanufactured Cartridges?

Remanufactured cartridges are spent OEM cartridges that are professionally cleaned, refilled, and restored to meet or exceed original performance standards. If offered by an ETIRA member company, this guarantees that these cartridges:
  • ✅ Undergo rigorous testing for quality and reliability.
  • ✅ Meet strict European environmental and safety regulations.
  • ✅ Reduce waste and CO2 emissions.
  • ✅ Comply with WEEE, REACH, and CE marking requirements.
  • ✅ Support local businesses and job creation in Europe.

The Hidden Costs of Cheap, Non-Compliant Cartridges

  • ❌ Higher failure rates leading to poor print quality.
  • ❌ Increased risk of printer damage.
  • ❌ Non-compliance with EU laws, leading to potential legal risks.
  • ❌ No take-back or recycling schemes, resulting in more landfill waste.
