The quality of the products must meet certain standards. If quality and functionality of the toner cartridge are not 100%, environmental and economic factors are of only secondary importance to the user.

We replace everything needed to ensure flawless print quality, and produce toner cartridges able to rival the originals in every way. Thanks to our dedicated employees’ many years of experience, our production is oriented to achieving perfection and quality with the highest technical capabilities.

Safe for humans and the environment

PLUS quality also means that we make no compromises in respect to people and the environment, and set the highest standards in occupational safety and the environmental impact of our production processes. By using our products, you will be helping to reduce the mountain of rubbish in Switzerland by more than 120 tonnes per year, thus preserving precious resources such as oil, metal and copper.

Our short transport distances comprise an additional PLUS for the environment. This saves considerable amounts of energy and significantly minimises CO2 emissions. In addition, state-of-the-art filter systems prevent harmful environmental emissions and a heat recovery system reduces production energy requirements.

We work only with companies that offer an international supply of spare parts, such as the OPC, cleaning blade, print detect chip etc. Not only do these companies have to comply with European standards, they must also meet our own high quality standards.

Print detect guarantees full functionality.

Today, all OEM manufacturers equip their toner cartridges with a chip. For this reason, not only do we produce toner cartridges that deliver comparable print quality, but we also equip them with print detect chips. This ensures their functionality is completely compatible with the original chip.

Health impact

The toner powder is the core of each toner cartridge

Toner powder not only affects printer functionality, it also has a considerable impact on people and their health. We source our toner powder exclusively from manufacturers that subject their products to the following tests and which follow these guidelines:

• AMES test (mutagen test)
• Blue angel: an eco-label in existence since 1978 that certifies environmentally friendly products and services.
• LGA test (Landesgewerbeanstalt Bayern)
• EU Directive 2002/95/EC concerning restrictions on the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical devices. This directive requires that new electronic devices do not contain lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium

In addition to compliance with European standards, we also require our suppliers to comply with the higher quality standards of Tonrec Swiss.

The challenge of colour printing

Colour laser printers present great challenges when it comes to the production and recycling of toner cartridges. The worldwide development of colour toner powder is making steady progress.

Tonrec Swiss is working continuously to develop new methods and is always testing new systems, toner powder, OPC and manufacturing processes in order to achieve ideal colour print results.

Due to manufacturers' rapid advances, toner recycling has undergone immense changes and is becoming more complex and fast-paced every day.

We are right at the forefront of these developments and offer the most advanced technologies, enabling you to deliver products of the highest quality.
