Recycled Products

Here at ASAP, we supply planet friendly and price friendly recycled products made from 100% recyclable materials, using recycled packaging. The premise is that these products are both Ecological and Economical.

Paper;

We supply FSC® approved paper and 100% recycled paper in white and coloured options.

Why use Recycled Paper?

When it comes to paper communications, recycled paper is the greenest option. It uses less energy, water and It produces lower carbon emissions than the manufacturing of non-recycled paper. At the same time, this reduces the amount of waste to landfill as paper can be recycled 4 to 5 times. With advances in technology and processes, recycled paper is now as white and has the same print performance as non-recycled paper.

Remanufactured Ink Cartridges / Toners;

In short - Remanufactured toner cartridges are brand cartridges that have been professionally cleaned, refilled with comparable-quality toner, and tested to deliver the same print quality as the original cartridge.

Why use Remanufactured Ink Cartridges / Toners?

Beyond price and quality, an essential advantage of remanufactured toner cartridges is sustainability.

Here are some alarming statistics on ink and toner cartridges:

• More than 375 million empty printer cartridges end up in landfills every year (that's more than one million a day)
• An average printer cartridge takes about 1000 years to decompose
• Toner and ink cartridges are classified as a potentially carcinogenic; and the toxins and heavy metals of these products contaminate water and soil with volatile organic compounds
