Have you opted for sustainable business practices? WECARE provides a wide range of high-quality remanufactured toner cartridges
Guarantee on quality
Our toner cartridges are of high quality, competitively priced and environmentally friendly. A rigorous production process and thorough research underlie this attractive alternative.
Intensive quality controls are carried out during the whole development and production process. This is how we can guarantee that WECARE toners work to perfection. This is why we provide a 100% guarantee on our products
Sustainable printing helps you reach your CSR objective
500 million empty cartridges end up in incinerators and landfills each year. Reuse of cartridges is better for the environment and complies with all CSR requirements. The carbon footprint of a remanufactured cartridge as opposed to a new cartridge is 25-40% lower. For instance, 3.5 litres of oil are needed on average to produce one new original toner cartridge. It then takes 1000 years for one empty cartridge to degrade. Remanufactured cartridges go through a full end-of-life process, which means that the environmental impact is much lower. Sustainable printing with WECARE products can therefore make a valuable contribution towards meeting your CSR objectives.
Controlled production process
WECARE gives cartridges a second life by making them suitable for reuse. This occurs through a controlled production process with high standards. The production process comprises the following steps:
-
collecting and sorting empty cartridges
All cartridges received are inspected and sorted by type and quality.
-
cleaning
The dismantled cartridges are cleaned in an ionising tunnel.
-
preparing for production
Optimally calibrating the machines for production.
-
filling
The cartridge is filled with carefully weighed toner.
-
assembly
The cartridge is assembled according to rigorous procedures.
-
testing
Each cartridge is individually tested before it is packaged.
Intensive quality controls are carried out during the whole development and production process. This means we can issue the guarantee that the ARMOR toners work to perfection and comply with all requirements. For this reason, there is a lifelong guarantee on the ARMOR toners. According to the guarantee conditions, you will be fully refunded for a faulty toner cartridge or it will be replaced.
Should an ARMOR toner cause provable damage to a printer in spite of our quality assurance, this damage will likewise be fully compensated. For this you can contact the supplier you purchased the toner from.
