The French remanufacturer has partnered with Environnement Massif Central (EMC), a developer of innovation for the use of printing waste.
Herault Juridique Econimique posted that cartridges that end up in landfill sites can take over 450 years to degrade, which is why Innotec has partnered with EMC. Executives from PROXL, a subsidiary of Innotec, have been searching for a more environmentally friendly solution for its customers.
The remanufacturer has historically been in favour of the circular economy and sustainability from its early start in business in 1993, and its subsidiary PROXL offers customers free collections of cartridges, copier and inkjet printing supplies.
EMC collects, sorts and treats all waste, but Executive Olivier Dalle has worked for five years to develop a solution for the printing sector’s waste, and the company now offers an “optimised recovery of flexible plastic waste”, and offers solutions to PROXL.
Executives from EMC, Carole Fournier and Leon Ladeur said that “their collaboration placed the Innotec group as the first PMI in its sector of activity to value in terms of all its waste collected”.
