California-based company TonerBoss has recently announced the addition of a new cartridge recycling programme. TonerBoss is one of the industry leaders when it comes to selling a wide variety of toner cartridges. Now the company has instituted a recycling programme as part of a Go Green! Campaign.
It has been estimated that nearly 300 million ink and toner cartridges are thrown away each year in the U.S. Unfortunately, they are being thrown into landfills. Not only do ink cartridges have the propensity to leak, sending toxins into the ground, but the plastics used in manufacture simply do not degrade. Not in our lifetime, anyway.
“Each laser toner cartridge thrown in a landfill can take more than 450 years to decompose. Each year, more than 300 million cartridges find their way in landfills. If nothing is done fast to avert this crisis, our world will die of trash suffocation. By simply using remanufactured laser toner cartridges, we all do our own part in saving our world one laser toner cartridge at a time,” says James Hsieh, managing director of TonerBoss.
According to Informinc.com, there are many reasons to recycle toner and ink cartridges, from saving the environment to saving your pocketbook.
“Recycled laser toner cartridges can go to as much as 70% cheaper than original branded laser toner cartridges. Recycling used laser toner cartridges lessens the amount of plastic, steel, aluminum, and rubber thrown at landfills. Remanufactured laser toner cartridges save energy. About 3 quarts of oil are being used to produce a single toner cartridge. Recycling laser toner cartridges helps conserve oil.”
