A Short End-of-Year Message – 2023

Featured

Posted on December 21, 2023 by Prez P

As we get nearer to the end of 2023, the staff at InknToner UK agree that the last blog of 2023 should be straight from the heart. We concluded that the following should be a brief recap and look back at this year and its events. However, this blog should be a small glimpse into the future year ahead of us – 2024.

It’s almost unbelievable that the year is over so soon. Just moments ago, we saw the end of 2022, which we remember as the time during which Covid-19 posed a threat to us. 2023 was a fresh, post-pandemic start with a new outlook on life. Throughout this year, we observed important world events take place – from natural disasters, celebrations and festivities to political elections and shifts in views around the world. Whether you look back at this year as good or bad, no one can deny that this year has plenty of examples of positive human traits – solidarity, kindness, love, endurance and heroism. In spite of all the hardship, negativity and problems people around the globe encountered, there were still people capable of good.

This was a big year for all of us. Although it may seem at times that life is moving too slow or too fast and even if it may seem like little progress has been made in life, we move forward and will continue to do so.

InknToner UK would like to thank all of its customers, visitors and audiences throughout the world for being a part of our journey. We wish you happiness and peace for the rest of this year, next year and the many years to come. See you next year!

Time for another Christmas with InknToner UK!

The origins of Christmas customs unroll like the pages of a history novel, weaving together pagan roots and Christian adoption, as the festive season blankets the world in dazzling lights and joyful tunes. The Christmas tree, one of the season’s most recognisable symbols, has strong pagan roots that date back to ancient cultures.

Pagans loved the evergreen tree for its capacity to resist harsh winter circumstances because it represented determination and the promise of life’s continuation. Evergreens were connected with Balder, the god of light, who was thought to be revived after his death in Norse mythology. During the winter solstice, Germanic tribes often decorated their dwellings with evergreen trees.

Enter Christianity, where the Church strove to reinterpret and incorporate existing traditions into the faith’s structure. With its pagan origins, the Christmas tree was transformed into a Christian symbol of eternal life through Christ. Devout Christians in Germany began adorning their homes with ornamented evergreen trees during the Christmas season around the 16th century.

Similarly, gift-giving has its origins in the Roman festival of Saturnalia, a celebration of the deity Saturn that included feasts, celebrations and the exchanging of presents. This ritual was established by early Christians in accordance with the biblical story of the Magi delivering gifts to the newborn Jesus.

The blending of pagan ceremonies and Christian ideas goes down to the day of Christmas. While experts argue the exact date of Jesus’ birth, the choice of December 25th matched with the Roman festival of Sol Invictus, which celebrated the “unconquered sun.” The Church attempted to refocus the festivities on the birth of the Son of God, though the exact date of the Messiah’s birth is unknown and is more likely to be around October or early November time.

The interaction between pagan origins and Christian adaptation has given rise to the complex array of rituals we recognise today in the kaleidoscope of Christmas traditions. Whether it’s decorating a Christmas tree, giving gifts, or celebrating the season, each ritual has a history that spans nations, faiths, and centuries, resulting in a worldwide celebration that transcends time and belief.

Today, Christmas focuses on giving and spending time with family and friends. No one deserves to be sad or alone on Christmas. It’s one of the few times a year that people around the world seem more vibrant and joyful.

EU – New October Tax!

Featured

Posted on January 6, 2023 by Prez P

From 1^st October 2023, the new EU draft law – the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) – will enter into force with a 3 year transition period following, during which only reporting obligations will apply.

CBAM Effects

The CBAM is one of several tax and carbon price reforms proposed as part of the EU’s Green Deal. CBAM’s goal is to combat climate change by reducing greenhouse gases by minimum 55% by 2030 and protecting jobs. Things like, for example, plastics, hydrogen, organic chemicals, including printing products like ink cartridges, fall into the list of products that CBAM encompasses. Other products also include, fertilisers, aluminium, cement, electricity, iron etc.

Carbon Reliant Industries affected by EU CBAM Tax

What does this mean for carbon-reliant industries? Most notably, effects on environment and “carbon leakage” will decrease significantly and be a step towards achieving EU climate goals. EU citizens will have the opportunity to purchase products from a market that is open to environmentally friendly resources! Businesses that focus and invest more into their environmental impact will surely benefit from CBAM, since importing into EU countries will be easier. CBAM will also encourage producers in non-EU countries to green their production processes.

InknTonerUK’s contribution to a more positive Environment
