UK-based printer consumables distributor announces it is now a member of ETIRA.
Effective Consumables Solutions (ECS) said that it is “pleased” to make the announcement that it is now a member of ETIRA after recently expanding its operation into remanufacturing following the acquisition of Scottish remanufacturing and recycling company Tinto Laser Services in March; as well as the acquisition of the recycling division GreenAgenda Ltd., which the company says is “one of the UK’s leading cartridge and mobile phone recycling operations”.
ECS Chief Executive Felicity Rabbitte said that joining ETIRA “will confirm to our European associates and customers both home and abroad that our products and services represent the latest ethical standards”, adding that this is “essential if we are to gain respect for our industry and ECS plans to be an advocate for quality-driven success”.
Meanwhile Chris Fink, Director of ECS, said: “We are pleased to be part of such an important proactive association. Remanufacturing is a growing industry and global business success story, underpinned by sustainable manufacturing practices. The reuse of cartridges is the most environmentally friendly and efficient method of supplying demand for printer parts. ETIRA provides strong strategies and delivers clear messages about the importance of the remanufacturing industry for businesses and consumers.”
Also joining ETIRA recently was Italian remanufacturer IR Italiana Riprografia, which announced that it joined the association in February.
