    AUSTRALIA :TOSHIBA WANT EMPTY TONERS CARTRIDGES BACK
    Recycling
    initiative results in 100-percent reuse of collected Toshiba consumable
    imaging productsToshiba America Business Solutions Inc. (TABS) has
    announced a partnership with Close the Loop Inc. (CtL) to create the
    “Zero Waste to Landfill” recycling program.  Scheduled to launch on
    October 1, this program is TABS’ most comprehensive environmental
    sustainability initiative to date, allowing for the 100-percent
    recycling of collected consumable supplies.  CtL’s customized
    collection program for TABS provides the company with recyclable
    collection boxes and supplies, freight, transportation, and recycling
    services for its toner bottles, laser cartridges, drum units, toner
    bags, and other bulk imaging consumables.

    “Toshiba’s
    partnership with Close the Loop furthers the company’s commitment
    towards serving as responsible stewards of the environment by focusing
    on the three R’s – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle,” said Tom Walter, Director,
    Aftermarket Sales, Marketing and Operations for TABS.  “One of the most
    rewarding results of this recycling initiative is that 100-percent of
    consumable imaging products collected will never make it to a landfill,
    ensuring minimal negative impact on the environment.”
     
    Traditionally
    difficult to process, imaging supplies require specialized equipment in
    order to recycle them.  CtL has patented four different processes for
    recycling imaging supplies, resulting in a zero-waste solution without
    using thermal destruction which yields the maximum amount of reusable
    materials.  These hard-to-process mixed plastics, toner powder, inks
    and sponges are used in the company’s patented composite eLumber
    product, thereby reusing previously unusable materials, preventing them
    from ending up in landfills or being incinerated.
     
    Registration
    for this recycling program will begin October 1, 2008 with the program
    launch.  In support of the program, TABS is creating a web portal
    interface for its dealers and customers in order to participate.  For
    details on how to become involved in the “Zero Waste to Landfill”
    project, visit http://www.copiers.toshiba.com on or after October 1.
