Rod Young, Chairman and Global CEO of Cartridge World commented, “I’m humble to receive the awards, not only the award is given to Cartridge World, but also given to all our franchisees, executive team and customers who support us. And I thank Recycling Times very much for the opportunity that they provided and the award they’ve given to us.

On behalf of the European Toner and Ink Remanufacturing Association (ETIRA), Secretary General Vincent van Dijk said, “I was very honored by the fact that we have received the award from Recycling Times. It is in recognition of the work we do on behalf of the remanufacturing industry in Europe. Yes, and against the patent infringement lawsuits unfortunately that are still taking place. I hope this award will help me and help others to improve what we do every day.”

UniNet CEO Nestor Saporiti observed, “We are privileged and honored to be acknowledged with the Industry Service Award by Recycling Times Magazine and the imaging industry. We take this opportunity to thank everyone for their continuous support and recognition.

UniNet shares this success with everyone and looks forward to continuing to raise the bar by delivering quality products worldwide.”

Philip So, Director of Print Rite Holding Limited, noted, “We are glad to have this award. We have been building a collection of more than 2,200 patents during the last 14 years. I hope this prize will make more industry players understand the importance of innovation and IP so that one day overseas buyers will come to China not for sourcing the cheapest products but to obtain high quality, patent safe components and consumables.”
