Brother’s market leading toner remanufacturing programme helps to reduce waste, extends Brother’s their product lifecycle and reduces Brother’s environmental impact. 100% of Brother’s toner cartridges are either reused or recycled, with nothing going to landfill.

Dedicated to carbon neutral recycling facilities support Brother’s toner cartridge return and recycle scheme. Each remanufactured toner cartridge saves on average 2.28kg of CO2.

Globally, each year, Brother remanufactures around 2.6 million cartridges achieving a reduction of around 5,900 tonnes of CO2. With this, not only is diversion from landfill assured, but your company’s carbon footprint is reduced.

To complement the toner remanufacturing programme, Brother have been partners with deforestation charity Cool Earth, for over a decade. Together Brother can help local people in Peru and Papua New Guinea protect the rainforest. Since Brother’s partnership with Cool Earth began, Brother has helped to protect over 70,000 hectares of rainforest: around 27 million trees with the capacity to store over 37 million tonnes of carbon.
MPS Essential FAQ General FAQ
What are the installation requirements?
Make sure your printer is connected to a network that has internet access. Brother will send an activation email with simple instructions to connect your device to the MPS Essential system.
What’s the different between #Low, Medium or High Packages’ and ‘pay as you print’?
Packages give your business access to a fixed number of pages per month, with any unused or extra pages carried over within the billing quarter. As you’re billed quarterly, it provides you with a predictable cost for your printing. ‘Pay as you print’ means you will only pay for the pages you use each quarter, so you may experience a more variable bill based on the print usage of your business.
What if I need extra pages adding to my package?
You will be charged an agreed price automatically for each extra page your business uses. Pages are billed by two different prices, one for pages that use only black ink or toner, and a different price per page for pages that require colour and black ink or toner.
What if I do not use all the pages in my package?
Pages will be rolled over within the billing quarter. If your business uses less than the total page allowance within your billing quarter you will not be charged for any additional pages.
What is included in my Low, Medium or High page package?
Your package provides your business with automatic supplies ordering and delivery, an easy-to-use portal to manage your service and enough toner or ink and related supplies to enable your business to print your chosen number of pages (for colour printers or MFC’s, number of pages is split 50:50 by colour pages and black and white pages). Your package will also include manufacturer support for any issues with your device or service.
What is included in my pay as you print plan?
Pay as you print provides your business with automatic supplies ordering and delivery, an easy-to-use portal to manage your service and enough toner or ink and related supplies to enable your business to print. Your business will be charged for each colour or black and white page you print. Your plan will also include manufacturer support for any issues with your device or service.
