Remanufacturing both laser and ink jet cartridges reduces the amount of non-biodegradable plastic in landfills. Additionally, the manufacturing process used to create new cartridges depends heavily on fossil fuels, usually imported fossil fuels. That's why the EPA has mandated the use of remanufactured cartridges for all federal agencies.

Q. Can I really save money by using remanufactured cartridges?

Yes. As much as 40 to 50 percent, depending on the quantity of cartridges your company uses, your savings can amount to thousands of dollars each year.

In a word -- education.

The industry is working diligently to educate the consumer about the value of remanufactured cartridges, and today more than 33 percent of all American businesses used remanufactured cartridges. Quite an accomplishment in just ten years. Through public relations campaigns, local, state and federal legislation, more and more end-users are realizing the added value of remanufactured cartridge products and services.

Q. Am I really helping the environment by purchasing remanufactured cartridges?

Definitely. Each discarded empty laser printer cartridge adds approximately three pounds of unnecessary waste to our landfills. Waste that will take as long as 10 centuries to decompose. It is estimated that 100 million laser printer cartridges and 400 million ink jet printer cartridges are produced each year. Remanufacturing these 500 million cartridges will save an estimated 4 million cubic feet of landfill space. The office products remanufacturing industry has made and will continue to contribute a substantial positive impact upon the environment and the economy wherever it exists.
