Enviro-Supply reducing office's carbon footprint and costs
Enviro-Supply is a small company that promotes "greener" office products that are good for your business and the environment. The greener option not only reduces the carbon footprint of your office but also reduces your costs. Enviro-Supply has teamed up with Envirolaser Ltd. (an ISO 90093 registered company) that remanufactures the most common laser printer cartridges. Envirolaser performs a number of tests to ensure that the remanufactured product perform as well as the original equipment. The reuse of the plastic housing along with the proper recycling of the other components keeps the all components of cartridge out of the landfill. Enviro-Supply is also teamed with Printwell to offer inkjet cartridge refills that are guaranteed to work. Another easy way we improve the impact on the environment is to supply high yield cartridges to our customers whenever possible. Although these units are priced 30-40% higher, they yield 50% more pages therefore reducing the printer downtime, shipping, and production costs. All of these factors reduce the carbon footprint of the cartridge. Enviro-Supply also offers a complete line of office supplies in addition to print cartridges and promotes "greener" products including recycled paper and pens using refills.
