|
Over 400 million inkjet cartridges are thrown into landfills each year. Recycling these cartridges would have prevented 120 million tons of waste from reaching our landfills. Recycling cartridges conserves environmental resources while reducing pollution. Did you know it takes three quarts of oil to make a new cartridge and that the typical inkjet cartridge may take up to 1,000 years to decompose? Remanufacturing cartridges uses 80% less energy than producing a new one and helps protect the environment in significant ways.
