ETIRA Bodies

Members
ETIRA has two types of membership, full and associate:

Full membership is available to European companies actively involved in the inkjet and toner remanufacturing industry (remanufacturing, supplies and components, sales and distribution, empty cartridge brokering, manufacturing of compatibles and professional services are just some of the eligible categories). Full members must be based within the EU and be validly incorporated under the laws of their country of origin. Full members have the right to vote, up to one vote per full member. Membership fees are based on your annual turnover attributable to industry related activities.

Associate membership may be granted to the aforementioned companies based outside the EU, and to individuals, associations, organisations or companies that have or represent a commercial, industrial or scientific interest in the ink and toner cartridge remanufacturing industry. Associate members may be charged a membership fee in accordance with the conditions set out by the Board of Directors. Associate members do not have the right to vote.
