Greensource Printeco cartridges raise over £50,000 for Children's Hospice South West

We've reached a landmark. 

At the time of writing, £50,342 has been raised for Children’s Hospice South West from the sale of our Printeco range of printer cartridges.

“The Printeco partnership has been in place since December 2010 and reaching this milestone makes everyone in the company incredibly proud” said the boss

He added, “Our Printeco laser cartridges are remanufactured in Bristol and it is testament to the popularity of the product that we have raised so much”.

£1 is donated to Children’s Hospice South West with every Printeco cartridge sold.

Several years ago, the staff at Greensource were invited to visit the hospice in Charlton Farm. It was an incredibly positive and awe inspiring experience for everyone. Several of us were a little tentative, but seeing the Hospice made supporting the charity all the more meaningful. 

Long may this relationship continue.

Thanks to Children's Hospice South West, our customers, everyone who supplies empty cartridges to us and not forgetting everyone at Greensource who make it all possible. We love you all!  

Children's Hospice South West Mobile Phone Amnesty

Children's Hospice South West and Greensource Solutions launch our mobile phone amnesty on 1st December 2011.

This will run until 31st January 2012 and we are aiming to receive 1000 mobile phones - that's 1000 messages of support for the families who receive respite care, emergency support and end of life care at Little Bridge House, Charlton Farm and Little Harbour over Christmas and the New Year.

Participating is easy! Simply fill in the contact form on the website and you'll receive a freepost envelope to return any handsets you have.

Any mobile phone, regardless of age or condition can be accepted and will be reused or at worst recycled.

We hope that supporters of the Hospice and recyclers alike will think of us at Christmas time if they get a brand new handset from santa!

Printeco supports Children's Hospice South West for one year and raises thousands!

Greensource Solutions Printeco cartridge range has supported Children's Hospice South West for one year now and we are extremely proud to tell the world that £14,894 has been raised for the charity from Printeco cartridge sales!

This is a fantastic amount. We support Children's Hospice South West in a variety of ways and approached the charity in 2009 to propose the Printeco partnership.

Greensource donate £2 to the charity from the sale of every Printeco cartridge sold.

Our Printeco cartridge range includes over 300 different compatible toner cartridges. We remanufacture them at our site in Bristol to strict standards - each cartridge has a 2 year guarantee. The cartridge will match or exceed the quality of its branded equivalent and they cost significantly less (in some cases they can be up to 70% cheaper).

Just as important as all of this is their environmental performance. Because these cartridges are remade from empty cartridges, they use a fraction of the energy in their production (compared to branded cartridges) and because Greensource Solutions operations are all at our Bristol location, less road miles are travelled throughout the (second) life of the cartridge compared to overseas imports or many of our competitors.

In short, we think you should use them! If you are interested in finding out more about our Printeco range, or getting a quote on the cartridges then contact our sales team:

Greensource Solutions and SUMS partner to sell PDAs

Greensource Solutions and SUMS have gone into partnership to sell 3500 Dell Axim X51 PDAs to the education sector in the UK.

Greensource Solutions, a Bristol based printer cartridge and mobile phone recycling company, have joined forces with SUMS, the developers of award winning software applications for the classroom, to offer schools and City Learning Centres a fantastic opportunity to purchase Dell Axim X51 PDAs installed with the SUMS software.

These PDAs were donated to Greensource Solutions from a large pharmaceuticals company to be reused and raise money for our charity partners and a foundation that the staff at the company are starting.

Greensource Solutions have pledged to give 50% of all profits to these causes.

The decision to approach SUMS and go into partnership with them was made after seeing their expertise in hand held learning.

Both companies wanted the education sector to get the benefit of this offer.

The PDAs with SUMS software installed are retailing at £50 per handset when 10 or more are purchased. This is so much cheaper than the price of many PDAs on the market today (that normally retail for hundreds of pounds) – before any learning applications have been bought.

Sadly this offer is limited to the 3500 units available.

The current specifications of each unit are listed below:

MODEL: Dell Axim X51
PROCESSOR TYPE: Intel PXA270
PROCESSOR SPEED: 416MHZ (Dynamic speed throttling to save power when not in use).
RAM SIZE: 64MB
ROM SIZE: 128MB
ONBOARD STORAGE: 76MB
WIRELESS: Bluetooth (WIFI available with add-on. Compact Flash card not supplied).
DISPLAY: 3.7 inch 16BIT colour
OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows mobile 5
EXPANSION SLOTS Compact Flash (storage or accessories) and SD cards (storage only - SDIO, max size 2GB)

Each unit will come with the charging cradle that also has a data transfer connection.

Greensource have PDAs, will sell!

We recently were donated nearly 4000 Dell Axim X51 PDAs by a large pharmaceuticals company.
This is an amazing donation and we have pledged to give 50% of all profits from the sales of these to our charity partners and a charitable Foundation that staff at the company intend on creating.

I hope this means a cheque for big money will be cut for these charities shortly!

For all interested parties these devices will be on sale shortly through our usual outlets.

Greensource donate £650 to St Peter's Hospice

It's always nice to spread news like this. Airbus in Bristol contacted us recently with a large quantity of printer cartridges surplus to their requirements and after collecting them we have raised £650 for Bristols St Peter's Hospice
We have been a partner with St Peter's Hospice since 2008 collecting empty printer cartridges and mobile phones to raise funds for the work they do.

They are a great charity who provide an invaluable service for those with life threatening illnesses and their families and being local to us makes it all the more worthwhile.
