Collection & Fullfilment

The program aims to collect print consumables for printer manufacturers by placing boxes at businesses and other organizations. Circular Planet will be responsible for sending empty collection boxes to the program users. When the boxes are filled with print consumables, collection will be requested by the participants of the program.

Sorting

When the full collection boxes arrive at a Circular Planet distribution center, the content is sorted. Items for reuse are separated from those who are not eligible for reuse. The reusable items are then sent back to the printer manufacturer where they can be cleaned, repaired and refilled.

Reuse

The sorting of cartridges is done based on several criteria. The manufacturer determines which items are eligible for reuse. Then a visual inspection is performed by the operators to see if there are any defects in the product. After inspection, the reusable items are packaged according the requirements from the manufacturer. In some cases, cleaning of the reusable products is performed in-house. In other cases, the products are cleaned by the manufacturer before the repair and refilling process.

Recycling

Unfortunately, not all items are eligible for reuse. Items that cannot be reused are sent to Close the Loop so that these items can be recycled. During the recycling process the items are completely dismantled so that all materials (metals, plastics, toner) are separated from each other. These materials can then be reused as raw materials to make new high-quality products.
