What Do We Do?

That's easy - we buy what you don't need. You could call us heroes, but that would be crazy.

Simple, really - and rather sensible. This is our story...

Humble beginnings and a pretty cool minivan

Toner Connect began life way back in 2011 with a single person - James Cai, a minivan and plenty of enthusiasm. These early years in the Toner Connect makeshift office were ones defined by a baffling habit - that the offices we worked with were chucking out perfectly good toners.

We asked why and they answered...

Then came an epiphany, our lightbulb moment, a sudden realization.

Printer technicians, IT directors, office managers, copier reps and administrative teams all run into the same problem: leftover, unused and unwanted toner quietly piling up in storage rooms, closets and warehouses.

Once we saw the pattern, we widened our reach to companies, schools, public bodies and offices of every kind.

The same story kept repeating itself, and too much perfectly usable toner was headed toward landfill.

So, what we did do?

Well, what any printing toner pioneers would do, we guess...

We set up a buyback deal, then another, and then a lot more. We began by purchasing OEM brand toner first and steadily expanded our network nationwide.

Before long we were working with dealers, distributors, exporters and wholesalers, while also broadening the products we could help with.

Today we partner with organizations determined to keep toner out of landfill and put value back into the hands of the people who bought it.

And the rest, as
they say
is history!

TRUST. IT'S A NON-NEGOTIABLE

In any industry, business or sector, trust is pretty important. That's why we always pay you before you ship your toners - because that's the way toner buyback programs should work - shouldn't they?

Oh, and we also have one of the highest buyback prices in the market - that's a solid promise and a cast iron guarantee. If you ever find a better buyback rate anywhere else, just let us know and we'll match or even beat the offer. What's not to love?
