Toner

Purchasing remanufactured toner cartridges—cartridges that have been used at least once and then disassembled, cleaned and had worn parts replaced and toner refilled—can save buyers money while helping the environment. Remanufactured cartridges save users around 30 to 50 percent off the price of new cartridges. The County’s specifications require spent cartridges to be remanufactured and all components to be recycled when their useful life is over, reducing the landfill disposal of hazardous material.

Policy and Goals:

As outlined in King County’s 2020 Strategic Climate Action Plan,

• King County shall optimize print management efficiencies countywide, through new procurement practices and the use of Managed Print Services

Testimonials

King County Superior Court: “The product is what we’re looking for and is cheaper remanufactured, saving us money across all sectors. Also the turnaround time is quick. The product originally manufactured is three times as costly and three times as more likely to run out quicker.”

King County Department of Natural Resources & Parks: “The remanufactured cartridges are highly comparable to the original equipment manufacturers (OEM). The service is great and the delivery is fast between one and two business days.”
