About our management
Who steers what at Flanders Circular?
Well printed
Every year, as many as 800 million cartridges end up in the trash, when you can perfectly restore and reuse them. At Nextsupplies, they believe in environmentally conscious printing without sacrificing quality or a friendly price. The focus is on two product categories:
- Circular cartridges: original toners and ink from brands such as HP, Epson and Canon are “remanufactured”: they are collected, restored to like-new condition and tested individually. This saves up to 90% in raw materials compared to new cartridges.
- Sustainable paper: the white paper consists of 55% agricultural waste, the natural paper even 100%!
The advantages
The cartridges come from European producers with a smaller footprint. This limits transport and we can be sure that the products are produced in humane conditions. The price is also fair: on average over 20% lower than new products.
And there's more, with VLAIO
They are not sitting still at Nextsupplies, as there are more plans to create impact in the future. Through traditional supermarkets, they want to give consumers access to a sustainable range of non-food items. For this, the company received an SME growth grant from VLAIO, within the theme of Sustainable and Circular Enterprise. VLAIO business advisor Liesbeth Peters helped them to sharpen the ambitions and objectives, in order to come up with a clear application file together.
