Why recycle Inkjet & Toner Cartridges?
Recycling keeps large amounts of plastics out of landfills. Every year
over 300 million cartridges are thrown away. This means for each
cartridge, about 2.5 pounds of plastic is thrown into a landfill. It will
never go away!
Recycling saves natural resources. To produce a single new laser
cartridge, over 3 quarts of oil are used. In contrast, a recycled
cartridge only requires 1 quart of oil to be able to be reused. Recycling
saves two quarts of oil per cartridge. This year alone, toner cartridge
remanufacturing will save over eleven million (11,000,000) gallons of
oil.
