About Each One Counts

Each One Counts is the on-line charity collection programme of Environmental Business Products Ltd (EBP) for inkjet cartridges and mobile phones.

EBP have been working with charities for nearly 20 years and have donated over £5million to charities in the U.K and Europe. The Each One Counts recycling scheme has been developed to allow charities of any size to raise money through recycling and to maximise the income that can be raised.

Each One Counts is a corporate member of the Institute of Fundraising and supports the Fundraising Standards Board (FRSB) Fundraising Promise.

EBP was established in 1992 specialising in the manufacture of private label inkjet cartridge brands for leading UK and European high street and mail order channels. We are based in Park Royal, London with operations in France, Germany, Holland, Sweden, Spain and Portugal employing around 200 staff.

We produce the highest possible quality remanufactured cartridges, using the most stringent quality controls in unison with our bespoke equipment and market leading R&D and technology. Our processes have been developed in-house among our own engineers, chemists and technical experts to produce cartridges that are indistinguishable from the Original Equipment Manufacturers.

As people have become more aware of the need to recycle, we have become the largest collector and remanufacturer of Inkjet Cartridges in Europe and one of the foremost technical innovators in the industry worldwide. In December 2006, the foremost independent trade magazine, "The Recycler" named EBP as the number one recycler of inkjet cartridges in the world!

Furthermore, in recognition of our success, in April 2004 we won the Queen’s Award for outstanding or continuous achievement in the category of international trade, resulting in substantial overseas earnings, with growth and commercial success.

Other accolades include:

• Positions in both Sunday Times Virgin Atlantic Tech Track 100 and Fast Track 100; recognising their place not only within the top 100 fastest growing privately owned technical companies in the UK, but within the top 100 fastest growing privately owned companies in the UK overall.
• Awarded the Sunday Times Virgin Atlantic award for innovation.
• The Mayor’s Green Procurement Code Awards 2006 for areas including:
• Purchase and use of environmentally friendly goods
• Recycling and disposal of our waste in an environmentally friendly manner
