Cartridge purchase

If you use only the manufacturer’s original cartridges for your company’s printing works, do not throw them away after use – sell them to us! We purchase only the manufacturer’s original cartridges that are not refilled or renovated. You will not only receive additional benefit but also support an environmentally-friendly solution to cartridge recycling.

Below select the manufacturer whose empty cartridge you want to sell, and you will receive a list of the manufacturer's cartridges with the original production numbers, as well as the purchase price per unit. You can deliver the empty cartridges to our office or we can pick them up at your office.

Cartridge recycling

Printer cartridges, due to their chemical composition, are classified as environmentally hazardous waste. Therefore, according to the legislation, at the end of their work cycle, it is important to recycle the cartridges instead of disposing of them as household waste. If hazardous waste gets into household waste, it pollutes the environment by certain components getting into both the air and soil. Therefore, after a time, a person can be directly exposed to the consequences of environmental pollution, by breathing poisonous air and consuming food that has grown in contaminated soil.

Rolling Ltd, according to the requirements of an eco-friendly company and the requirements of the environmental standard ISO 14001, sorts and handles all environmentally hazardous waste for recycling on a daily basis. Non-renewable cartridges and their components are placed in a special locked container, which is transferred to a certified company for recycling. The cost of recycling cartridges is based on weight, recycling 1 kg of ineligible cartridges and their parts costs us about EUR 2.90 + VAT. During the year, we hand over more than 20 tonnes of ineligible cartridges and their parts for recycling.

To reduce the amount of cartridge waste, Rolling has been promoting the reusability of cartridges since the very beginning in 2002, providing cartridge refilling and restoration. A high-quality cartridge case can serve up to 10 printing cycles, therefore it would not be appropriate to throw it out after the first cycle. By replacing the worn parts and refilling the used toner, Rolling ensures the cartridge's sustainability and care for the environment.

About alternative cartridges made in China

Every world market offers cartridges manufactured in China, which, due to sales promotions, are positioned as cheap from the price point of view. When visiting exhibitions in Asia and Europe where these cartridges are presented, and having to deal with them in Estonia, we have come to a conclusion that low-grade raw materials are selected and used for their production; as a result, these cartridges are often subject to print-quality risks, and they can last a maximum of one printing cycle, due to their design. Their further refilling and restoration is not possible, therefore, when purchasing such product, it should be taken into account that these cartridges should be taken for the processing of hazardous waste after their single cycle. Unfortunately, these cartridges often get into household waste, because companies selling them are not interested in paying extra costs by providing their customers with their re-acceptance and transfer to hazardous waste recycling companies. As a result, when such cartridges enter our market, they do not contribute to environmental protection and preservation.

When the cartridge casing and components are no longer usable, we transfer them to the waste recycling establishment in accordance with the regulations of hazardous waste management. All Rolling-manufactured and refilled cartridges that have expired are accepted for free at Rolling's office. In order to make everyday life easier for our customers, we are ready to go and collect our own manufactured and refilled cartridges for recycling.
