Recycling is a hot issue and another huge growth industry. Here are a few good reasons to recycle printer cartridges:
More than 3.4 liters (3/4 gallon) of oil are needed to make one new laser cartridgeIn just 12 months, cartridge recycling could save 4.3 million liters of oil in a country of 22 million people
Millions of cartridges go into landfills each year worldwide and increases by 12% annually * Source: Waddell Claire, Australian Personal Computer, 4/98
Laser printer cartridges account for over 90% of all throw-away cartridges
A laser cartridge thrown into landfill can take up to 450 years to begin to decompose
Buying a new cartridge uses more resources with a higher cost to the consumer
As well as being environmentally responsible, recycling cartridges also creates jobs.
