You all know you can save upto 85% when we Refill your empty Cartridges compared to buying new, but are you aware of the environmental saving?
There are accepted statistics that are alarming as to the environmental costs associated with the ink cartridge story, and it starts well before the cartridge is first installed into our printer. For example, most of us would be unaware that the “environmental costs of manufacture” include almost 3 ounces of oil for each ink cartridge, plus energy consumption in manufacture, packaging and distribution.
Much more alarming are the numerous statistics on the environmental costs of disposal. Are you aware that each year over 350 million cartridges are thrown out to landfills? And that they can take up to 450 to 1000 years to decompose.
The environmental benefits of returning refilled cartridges to the ink printing communities are clear and compelling. Hence the passion and commitment we have, in our own modest way, to help address this ecological imbalance.
We don’t stop there, what about old Printers, Cartridges and Computers? Cartridges ‘N’ More recycle all of these at no cost to the customer.
