Recycling empty ink cartridges and purchasing remanufactured replacements benefits Mother Earth in two ways.

1. We lessen our dependency on the natural resources it takes to make ink and toner cartridges when we use gently used cartridges that have undergone a complete remanufacturing process.
2. We reduce the amount of toxic materials that we are putting into our landfills that can take up to 450 years to disintegrate, all the while seeping toxin chemicals into the earth.

Save money by purchasing remanufactured toner cartridges, and save the earth by recycling your empties!
