Tiel, the Netherlands (Oct. 9, 2025)<\/em> \u2014 Katun Corporation (Katun), provider of Arivia multifunction printers (MFPs) and leading supplier of OEM-equivalent imaging supplies for printers, copiers, and MFPs, is proud to announce the launch of Katun Collects, a new core collection and recycling program for the European market. The initiative, developed in partnership with global sustainability solutions provider Close the Loop, represents a significant step forward in supporting Katun\u2019s commitment to circular economy principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Katun Collects is designed to streamline the collection and responsible recycling of used toner cartridges, components, and core parts \u2013 including returns from Katun Arivia MFPs. By recovering valuable materials and reducing waste, the program plays a pivotal role in minimizing environmental impact across the product lifecycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The program will initially be available to selected customers across Western Europe and the UK, with a focus on print and office technology industry partners. Plans for wider expansion across additional regions in Europe, the Middle East & Africa (EMEA) are already in development. Participating customers will be provided with the resources and support needed to return used products efficiently and responsibly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSustainability is at the heart of our innovation strategy,\u201d said Heidi Boller, Katun\u2019s EMEA general manager. \u201cWith Katun Collects, we are not only reducing our environmental footprint but also creating a pathway for our customers to contribute to a more circular, sustainable future. Our partnership with Close the Loop ensures that collected materials are handled to the highest environmental standards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPartnering with Katun on this initiative underscores our shared vision to advance circular solutions globally,\u201d said An Magerman, general manager – circular solutions EMEA at Close the Loop. \u201cThrough programs like Katun Collects, we\u2019re turning sustainability commitments into measurable results, giving products a second life and supporting a world without waste.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Close the Loop, a recognized leader in product and resource recovery, brings decades of expertise in managing complex recycling logistics and material recovery processes. Their capabilities ensure that collected items are remanufactured, repurposed, or recycled responsibly, aligning with Katun\u2019s broader circular economy goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Katun Collects program aims to recover more than 50 tons of used cartridges and components annually, of which the majority will be reused as remanufactured cartridges. This will significantly reduce the amount of material entering landfills, reinforcing both companies\u2019 dedication to responsible product lifecycle management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
