How do we give toner cartridges a second life at Z + M GROUP?

There is a lot of talk about sustainability, but we have been putting it into practice for a quarter of a century. At Z + M GROUP, we refurbish used original toner cartridges and put them back into circulation. This reduces waste, saves raw materials and minimises our ecological footprint. What cannot be reused is recycled and finds new uses in other production processes.

The concrete impact of our activities:

✅ 400,000 cartridges a year are returned to circulation instead of landfill.
✅ 254,800 kg of plastic waste saved through a circular approach.
✅ 85% reduction in waste compared to conventional disposal of used cartridges.
✅ 1,796 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions eliminated compared to producing new cartridges.

Many of our customers are already choosing refurbished cartridges as a more sustainable alternative. The circular economy is not just a trend, but a commitment and a responsibility. In addition to protecting the environment, it helps companies to reduce costs and move to sustainable solutions.
