ETIRA (www.etira.org) represents the interests of the inkjet and toner cartridge remanufacturers in the EU. Reuse of a printer cartridge as a cartridge is textbook circularity. A cartridge can be reused as a cartridge multiple cycles, thereafter its materials can be recycled and used as raw material.

What they argued
In the annexed PDF paper, ETIRA, representing European used cartridge remanufacturers, submits its comments on the initiative: Green-listing certain waste for the purposes of shipments to recovery between Member States . See this enclosed paper for our full detailed viewpoint.
ETIRA European Toner & Inkjet Remanufacturers' Association (Belgium) ETIRA (www.etira.org) represents the interests of the inkjet and toner cartridge remanufacturers in the EU. Reuse of a printer cartridge as a cartridge is textbook circularity. A cartridge can be reused as a cartridge multiple cycles, thereafter its materials can be recycled and used as raw material.
Representing the European Toner & Inkjet Cartridge Remanufacturers', ETIRA has promoted cartridge reuse as a cartridge since 2003. However, the American and Japanese printer manufacturer multinational OEM companies do everything they can to block cartridge reuse as a cartridge because they make their profit on selling a new cartridge each time the old one runs empty.
