One of the UK and Ireland’s largest remanufacturers and suppliers of printer consumables has joined ETIRA, the European Toner and Inkjet Remanufacturers Association.
Infotone, based in Scarborough, UK, has become a member of the trade association as part of its mission to support sustainability efforts within the printing industry, ETIRA said.

The company specialises in supplying remanufactured ink and toner cartridges that are compatible with all of the leading printer brands, as well as a recycling service that includes free collection of empty cartridges.
Jamie Hughes, Founder and Managing Owner of Infotone, said: “Remanufacturing is a vital aspect of our organisation, as it allows us to provide affordable, high-quality printer cartridges while also reducing waste and supporting sustainability efforts within the printing industry.
“We learned about ETIRA through our search for industry associations that align with our values and goals, and we became a member because we truly believe in the work the association does. Promoting and supporting the remanufacturing industry is crucial.”
Javier Martinez, President of ETIRA, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Infotone to ETIRA.
“It’s fantastic to see such an esteemed company taking the decision to join ETIRA and committing to helping us demonstrate the vital importance of remanufacturing and the part it has to play in helping save the environment.”
An estimated 70% of ink and toner cartridges are thrown away after one use, according to ETIRA. However, by remanufacturing them, the CO2 emissions of a cartridge can be reduced by up to 60%.
