durable and sustainable printing solutions.
In 2024, over 80% of our compatible consumable chip models supported device resetting via Unismart equipment, with all
equipped chip models enabling device reset, thereby achieving efficient recycling and reuse of chips.
Case Chip reuse technology facilitates the circular economy
We focus on innovative breakthroughs in chip reuse technology. With continued R&D investment in Unismart
and MINI series devices, we have expanded the coverage of resettable chip models and optimized firmware
upgrade efficiency. In 2024, we plan to achieve the reset and upgrade of over 20 million printing consumable
chips through the Unismart and Mini Smart device platforms, further enhancing chip recycling rates. In
addition, we actively develop OEM chip reset technology and recyclable, eco-friendly compatible chip designs,
providing solutions for chip reuse in the consumables recycling industry.
Moreover, the chip removal tool developed by us adopts an innovative dual-cutter design, supporting the safe
removal and reuse of original toner cartridge chips, effectively reducing electronic waste generation.
