Six reasons to choose HP cartridges

If you'd like organisation to play its part in the circular economy and improve its sustainability, your choice of printer cartridges could be one of the answers.

Here are six reasons why original HP cartridges are a good step towards more environmentally-friendly print.  

Student expectations are high when it comes to technology in their learning environment.

They expect simplicity, ease of use and reliability in the technology they use to reflect how connected they are to their everyday lives.

Here at Banner as an IT+ Silver Partner at Epson, we acknowledge their understanding of education and utilisation of that knowledge to design technology for efficient learning. The technology developed connects both faculty and students encouraging collaborative working and capturing attention.

The air we breathe can have a significant impact on our health 

With a new study* revealing that air pollution could cause mental health issues later in life, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer classifying outdoor air pollution as a cancer-causing agent (carcinogen)^, the quality of air in and around our workplaces, and schools, is worth questioning.

Quality of air inside a building can affect our health, comfort and productivity, with factors as diverse as mould, humidity, chemicals and building design affecting this.  

September sees the start of Vascular Awareness Month and we’re looking at how your workspace can help keep you in good health.

Fellowes have put together some tips to help you create a healthy workspace, starting with your workspace layout.  It’s recommended that you fit it around yourself rather than you fit to the space. Using a workstation solution helps to reduce risk of workplace strain or injury. The 4 Zone Approach from Fellowes is designed to help demonstrate how to adapt your workspace, focusing on your needs, with the aim to improve health and comfort at work and overall productivity.

Helping our customers make more sustainable choices is one of our big missions at Banner.

From supporting organisations as they seek eco-friendlier products to helping calculate potential reductions in CO² emissions, water and energy use, we know every little step can make a difference.

But we also know achieving sustainability doesn’t always seem easy. In one survey* of 300 companies, only 2% were able to ‘achieve or exceed the sustainability expectations that were set’, and 81% of businesses ‘settled for the dilution of value and mediocre sustainability performance’.

Make a sustainable impact with the HP Planet Partners Programme. 

There are more opportunities now than ever before to make a difference when it comes to making a sustainable impact when purchasing printing supplies.

HP are leading the way when it comes to being sustainability heroes, thanks to their HP Planet Partners programme and closed-loop recycling scheme.

By choosing Original HP printing supplies, you are making a strong environmental choice when it comes to protecting some of the world's essential resources.

Take a look at some of the statistics behind HP's recent sustainability effort:

We highlight how some of our Partnerships help use technology to meet a high standard

When you're sourcing technology, it's important that the products and services are recommended by suppliers that understand your organisation's specific needs, and who are qualified to offer this advice.

Suppliers accredited by the major manufacturers will not only be able to offer competitive prices and the latest product promotions, but will also be more likely to provide advice that is tailored to you, completely up to date and meets the highest standards.

Our Technology team at Banner have been put through their paces and are proud to have achieved the following accreditations, which means our customers can rest assured they are receiving the benefits of an accredited supplier.
