RECYCLING

At Perfect Print we turn used, empty inkjet and toner cartridges into useable products for our customers, all while saving them a lot of money.

Each year, North American households and businesses consume and throw away over 300 million laser and inkjet printer cartridges. These cartridges contribute over 200 million pounds of solid waste to our landfills.

The environmental impact of choosing remanufactured toner and inkjet cartridges is substantial. The typical used toner cartridge weighs about three pounds and is composed of 40% plastic, 40% metal, and smaller percentages of rubber, paper, foam and toner. About 97% of these combined components can be recycled. Approximately 120 million tons of recyclable material can be diverted from landfills each year just by participating in cartridge recycling programs.

The alternative is detrimental. The plastic used in a typical cartridge is made of engineering-grade polymers and takes at least 1,000 years to decompose. Additionally, the process required to make a new OEM cartridge requires the burning of fossil fuel (oil or natural gas). Approximately three quarts of oil are burned to make each new cartridge shell.

Remanufacturing saves money, minimizes waste, conserves energy, prevents pollution and is economically efficient. So if you care about the world your children will inherit, want to protect the beauty of nature, or simply want to produce less garbage, please recycle your printer cartridges.
