Moscow, May 20, 2020. The members of Association of Quality Consumables Manufacturers and Suppliers are ready to provide Russian higher education establishments with methodological, technical and technological provisions in order to organize institutionally-based office printing cartridge remanufacturing centers. The Association is convinced that creation of such centers is not only profitable economically but also allows higher educational establishments to protect their students and tutors from harmful impact of persistent organic pollutants found in the majority of cheap low-quality cartridges on the Russian market.

The Association of Quality Consumables Manufacturers and Suppliers (AQCMS) on May 20^th this year held an online-conference with participation by Association members and representatives of state organizations and large Russian higher educational establishments during which the reports by the heads of AQCMS Expert Councils were heard on the advantages of quality and environmentally safe cartridges; on economical effectiveness of remanufacturing of quality cartridges; on the Russian method of printing quality evaluation (LEM); on the results of testing of new-built cartridges presented on the Russian market; as well as on basic violations of the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants by a number of manufacturers and sellers of low-quality newly-built cartridges.

Having listened to and discussed the reports, the participants of the conference expressed their concern regarding the presence on the Russian market of a large number of cheap low quality new-built cartridges, violating not only the ecological requirements of RoHS and REACH, but also the requirements of the Stockholm Convention (ratified in Russia in 2011) (a Global agreement by signed 183 country with the aim of protecting human health and environment from highly toxic substances). The participants noted that they understand the range of objective reasons having determined the present situation on the Russian market and the forced nature of procurements by a number of Russian state organizations (including higher educational establishments) of cheap consumables for office printing.

The participants from AQCMS offered to the representatives of the Russian state organizations and large Russian higher educational establishments to provide methodological, technical and technological provisions for creating their own office printing cartridge remanufacturing centers. The leading Russian companies – suppliers of quality consumables – offered large Russian higher educational establishments not only to supply them with high-quality cartridges of confirmed quality, but also the whole necessary set of methodological materials for repeated remanufacturing of the supplied cartridges as well as for preparing (educating) locally institution’s own specialists in remanufacturing and office printing quality evaluation.

“We are ready to meet right away with representatives of any Russian higher educational establishments and discuss with them the whole specter of specific issues related not only with organizing office printing cartridge remanufacturing centers by the establishments, not only with supplying these establishments with cartridges of confirmed quality, but also with preparing or re-training the establishments’ own specialists with their further employment. We offer the Russian higher educational establishments to really help our Association in recreating the Russian remanufacturing industry, in creating of Russian production and jobs so necessary for our country in those difficult times”, – told the president of AQCMS, Malinskiy S.V.

Moscow, May 18, 2020. Association of Quality Consumables Manufacturers and Suppliers is ready to recommend to the Russian buyers cartridges of any manufactures if those cartridges are providing quality printing, are environmentally safe, and are suitable for remanufacturing and reuse.

On 18th of May, this year, Association of Quality Consumables Manufacturers and Suppliers (AQCMS) held an on-line conference with the members of the Association and a number of representatives from state organizations and large commercial structures. During the conference the reports were heard from the heads of Expert Councils on the results of tests of new-built cartridges present on the Russian market; also the necessary requirements for the use of new and remanufactured cartridges by state and large commercial organizations were discussed.

The participants of the conference have heard the following reports:

- by Dr. Alexey Belikov and Dr. Yulia Danilogorskaya, the heads of the Expert Council on Environmental Safety, regarding the list and critical values of ecological parameters that require control in newly-built and remanufactured cartridges, supplied on the Russian market for needs of the large Russian organizations and commercial structures;

- by Dr. Stanislav Malinskiy, President of AQCMS, the head of Expert Council on Informational Safety, and the head of Information Agency “Business-Inform” on the test results of the most popular new-built cartridges presented on the Russian market acquired during the work within the framework of state contracts during 2019-2020. 

After listening to and discussion of the reports the participants of the conference expressed their concern regarding the presence on the Russian market of the large number of cheap and low-quality new-built cartridges violating RoHS and REACH requirements, not suitable for remanufacturing or recycling. The participants noted that they understand the reasons stipulating the current situation on the Russian market, however, low-quality products not only compromise all the non-OEM products on the whole on the Russian market, but in fact hinder the development of the Russian production and creating of new jobs in the industry. The participants of the conference have recommended to highlight the list of low-quality and non-eco-friendly new-built cartridges in the state report of Information Agency “Business-Inform” for visible demonstration of the aforementioned brands of cartridges in the lists of public bid-winners in 2019.

The participants of the conference made a decision to recommend Russian state and commercial organizations the procurement of new and remanufactured cartridges of confirmed quality (this being defined not only by the printing quality itself but by the range of other important characteristics).

“We are ready to recommend for large Russian companies the new-built cartridges of Russian and International manufacturers, if they have good printing quality, are environmentally safe and suitable for successful remanufacturing. All the above-stated characteristics of new-built cartridges must be confirmed by testing, done by Russian expert organizations based on methods legitimate on the territory of Russia. Absolutely the same requirements are applied to remanufactured cartridges”. – told the President of AQCMS, Dr. Stanislav Malinskiy.

Also the participants have recommended to Dr. Malinskiy, the President of AQCMS and to Dr. Alexey Belikov and Dr. Yulia Danilogorskaya, the heads of the Expert Council on Environmental Safety to continue their work on organizing meetings with the representatives of state organizations and large commercial structures for discussing the issues of practical usage of AQCMS recommendations during procurements in 2020-2021.
