Getting rid of empty printer cartridges can be a real mess. While some can be refilled by individual users, many can not. This is why we have worked with recycling facilities to develop programs to take these cartridges back and keep them out of landfills.
Why is it important to recycle your cartridges?
- More than 3 quarts of oil are used to produce each laser cartridge.
- The plastic used in each printer cartridge takes more than 10 centuries (that’s 1000 years!) to decompose.
- 25 million printer cartridges go to land fills each month.
- Toner cartridge remanufacturing saves over 38,000 tons of plastic and metal from landfills.
- Stacking 125 laser toner cartridges end-to-end equals the height of the Statue of Liberty.
Obviously, these empty toner cartridges can present a big problem!
