Why Recycle??Significant Cost Savings Remanufactured toner and ink jet cartridges cost less than new ones. In most cases, 30-60% less. Reduces Solid Waste Over 38,000 tons of plastic and metal are saved from landfills each year as a result of cartridge remanufacturing. The plastic used in each printer cartridge takes more than ten centuries to decompose. The average remanufacturer salvages and restores enough cartridges each year to equal the height of a 120-story building. Saves Tax Dollars Every used cartridge thrown into a landfill costs a taxpayer money. Even a cartridge that is recycled through standard recycling efforts must be "reclaimed" through a process that costs tax dollars and consumes energy. Remanufactured toner and ink jet cartridges are restored without ever entering any waste stream, which means substantial savings for taxpayers over the life of that cartridge. Provides Excellent Quality Remanufactured toner and ink jet cartridges contain high-quality components and toners which yield outstanding results. Remanufacturing technology has become so precise that remanufactured cartridges often exceed the original equipment manufacturers' standards. Environmentally The Right Choice More than 80,000 tons of solid waste are created each year from the 32 million cartridges sold in the U.S., and the number keeps growing. More than three quarts of oil are required to produce each new laser cartridge. In just seven months, cartridge remanufacturing will save 11 million gallons of oil, or more than that which was spilled by the Exxon Valdez in Alaska's Prince William Sound in 1989. Every laser printer user can make a difference by using remanufactured toner cartridges. |
