Lasertech Displays Ongoing Commitment to the Environment
WARRINGTON, England — Lasertech, a manufacturer of printer cartridges and suppliers of office products, has been an environmentally aware company since the day they were established in 1989.
The company established a successful recycling program that encouraged businesses and schools to recycle their empty printer cartridges in exchange for credit or a donation to charity.
Presently, with a network of close to 100 franchise territories, including the head office, green issues are still a very important factor in the day-to-day running of Lasertech UK and its franchisees. Members of Lasertech’s franchise network have also been encouraging their customers to become more environmentally aware through introducing ‘Green Days‘ in relation to deliveries.
Franchisees have been working with their customers to schedule set days to deliver to customers in a particular post code area, which in turn would reduce fuel consumption and ultimately carbon footprint. This scheme has proven an overwhelming success particularly in rural areas. Franchisees have also started emailing invoices to their customers to save on paper, print and postage.
Lasertech brand cartridges are manufactured and recycled in the UK. Some leading brands of printer cartridges are manufactured in the Far East and recycled in the United States meaning that a cartridge can travel more than 7,000 miles. By using the Lasertech recycling program, Lasertech customers can have an impact on where these cartridges go and how far they travel. Lasertech offers a 45-page green book containing more than 1,000 environmentally friendly office products.
