Bellevue, WA — Today, Quality Imaging Solutions (QIS) announced that its remanufactured ink and laser printer cartridges received GreenCircle certifications for both Recycled Content and Closed Loop Product.


QIS’ remanufactured ink cartridges were certified at 99% Recycled Content and Closed Loop Product while QIS’ remanufactured laser toner cartridges were certified at 86% Recycled Content and Closed Loop Product. GreenCircle’s Recycled Content & Closed Loop certifications demonstrate an organization’s commitment to reuse materials to support a circular economy and reduce their reliance on virgin materials. GreenCircle follows ISO 14021 and FTC standards for recycled content claims.


GreenCircle Certified is an internationally recognized third-party certification entity whose thorough evaluation process provides independent verification that sustainability claims related to an organization’s products and operations are honest, valid, and verified. The certification process for QIS’ products included a full audit of recycled content and closed loop claims as well as a facility audit.


GreenCircle Certified is recognized as a valid third-party certification entity by the U.S. Federal Government, the United States Green Building Council (USGBC), the International Living Future Institute (ILFI), and the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR).


"I chose to work with GreenCircle because sustainability is the cornerstone of our business and GreenCircle's thorough certification process will give our customers peace of mind that they know where their products come from, and where they end up at the end of their life cycle. Quality Imaging Solutions is proud to partner with GreenCircle as our core values - Integrity, Respect, Resourcefulness and Passion - are very much aligned."

— Heather Fotch, Founder & CEO


“GreenCircle’s Recycled Content and Closed Loop Product certifications demonstrate commitment to the circular economy,” says Michelle Bonanno, Certification Officer at GreenCircle. “Quality Imaging Solutions’ dedication to transparency and product sustainability makes them a brand you can trust.”
