You might have seen remanufactured toner cartridges mentioned in previous Laser Lab blog posts and on our website.
But what exactly does “remanufactured” mean, and how does it affect you?
The Remanufacturing Process Demystified
Remanufacturing is different than recycling or repairing. It is a rigorous industrial process by which a previously sold or used product is returned to “like-new” condition.
Remanufacturers take a product that has reached the end of its useful life and disassembles, cleans, inspects, and reassembles it by either replacing or repairing worn parts. Then, the product undergoes testing to ensure that it will perform either equal to or better than the original product. The process is done in a controlled, reproducible, and sustainable way. It follows a national standard of specifications for the process of manufacturing set by the Remanufacturing Industries Council (RIC). Because there is a standard in place for remanufacturers to follow, consumers and businesses can feel confident that they will get a high-quality and dependable product.
The most common remanufactured product categories include:
- Printing Equipment
- Aircraft Components
- Automotive Parts
- Electrical and Electronic Equipment
- Medical Equipment
- Office Furniture
Benefits of Remanufacturing and Buying Remanufactured Toner Cartridges
Remanufacturing and remanufactured products benefit the environment and the consumer in many ways. Some of the advantages include:
- Conservation of raw materials
- Reduced energy consumption during manufacturing
- Reduced waste (and associated disposal costs)
- Cost savings for the consumer because remanufactured toner cartridges are less expensive than buying new
- Reduced carbon emissions because products are brought back to life rather than dumped in landfills
Businesses that choose to buy remanufactured toner get an exceptional product for less money, thus reducing expenses and improving profitability, while doing right by the environment.
At Laser Lab, we sell and advocate the use of remanufactured printer toner for all of the above reasons. We stand by all of the remanufactured products that we sell. With our money-back guarantee, you have nothing to lose if you’re not satisfied.
