Purchasing remanufactured ink and/or toner cartridges doesn't only save you money, it also helps save our environment.
Many parts of your cartridge, ink jet or toner, have components with a long service life and some that last virtually forever; either in our landfills or in your printer, the choice is up to you.
More than 70% of toner cartridges end up in our landfills after only a single use. By extending the life of an ink or toner cartridge you're responding to the ever growing need for recycling and using our resources in a more judicious manner.
In North America alone, over 350,000,000 cartridges per year are discarded into our landfills. Placed end to end they would encircle the earth over 2.5 times or one quarter of the way to the moon. On a globle scale they would encircle the earth 9 times and stretch all the way to the moon. This number is increasing by an astounding 12% annually!
Each toner cartridge weighs approximately 2.5 lbs. and is made of industrial grade polymers which do not begin to degrade for at least 10 centuries, or 1,000 years.
Each one of your new cartridges require approximately 3 quarts of oil and other numerous raw materials to manufacture. This process contributes a fair share of greenhouse gases during the original manufacturing.
Many OEM's (Original Equipment Manufacturer) provide pre-paid labels for the return of your toner cartridges. Many of those return labels export your cartridges to toxic wastelands such as Guiyu, China.

By recycling your printer cartridges you are helping save the environment. Our remanufacturing process tests the quality of the cartridge casing, nozzles, electronic circuit boards, and many other internal and external components. After passing this series of tests your cartridge is filled with the exact ink or toner formulations required for your model of cartridge. All remanufactured cartridges are thoroughly tested after assembly to ensure they meet or exceed the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) standards and specifications.
