Junno Gong used Global Recycling Day on 18 March 2024, to share her perceptions about remanufacturing inkjet printer cartridges.
Junno Gong is Deputy Director of Remanufactured Inkjet Empties Purchasing at G&G, and she firmly believes there is unlimited potential for the development of inkjet remanufacturing.
“It not only meets the environmental protection requirements of various regions, especially in Europe, but the patent risk related to remanufacturing printer cartridges is also low,” she said.
Gong describes the key innovations that G&G has implemented in the inkjet remanufacturing process as a “innovative 8-step ink cartridge remanufacturing process”. Every G&G remanufactured ink cartridge has undergone at least 8 tests, from selecting raw materials to packaging. We require all incoming raw materials to be strictly inspected under strict standards. Experienced staff fit all components and parts together and cross-check to ensure the quality of each process.
Gong added: “In addition, during the remanufacturing process, we use solar energy and turn wastewater into clean water through our sustainable water treatment program. The clean water is used to water flowers and trees, which are now growing in our factory gardens. You are welcome to visit and see for yourself.”
Gong sees challenges in the cleaning process of the cartridges, which may use large amounts of water.
Gong explains: “G&G uses tailor-made, automated production cleaning lines. This increases efficiency by 20% and saves up to 65% of the water that would have been used by traditional means. In G&G’s 1,500-square-meter sewage treatment, we “turn waste into wealth” to water the flowers, as I mentioned before. So, our product is genuinely green; there is no greenwashing.”
G&G said it always strives to deliver high-quality, healthy, and sustainable products that comply with national standards. “We have gone through the rigorous process of achieving the necessary certifications so every consumer can have peace of mind,” Gong added.
“Furthermore, we insist on using non-toxic, safe inks to reduce the environmental impact. Each cartridge is made in ISO 9001-certified facilities. We will never compromise the standards for quality, safety and sustainability.”
