Imation Partners with Buy.com
Apr
, 2009 Imation Corp. and Buy.com announced they have partnered to
reduce the environmental impact of printing through the availability of
Imation Earthwise remanufactured toner cartridges.The groups said a
four-point recycling program further ensures that environmentally aware
and cost-conscious users can easily reduce their effect on Mother
Nature.Imation offers earth friendly, remanufactured toner cartridges
with original manufacturer quality at up to 50 percent savings. Each
Imation Earthwise toner cartridge begins with a reused plastic shell,
and contains a new printer drum, new toner, and other reconditioned or
replaced parts. Imation Earthwise toner cartridges are packaged in
cartons made from no less than 80 percent post-consumer recycled
materials. Each cartridge saves three pounds of waste from filling
landfills and the equivalent of three quarts of petroleum by not
manufacturing a new cartridge.

Further, buying Imation Earthwise
toner cartridges online via Buy.com’s e-commerce model reduces
environmental impact with 35 percent less energy consumption and carbon
dioxide emissions than what is produced in the traditional retail
shopping model, according to a study by Carnegie Mellon University’s
Green Design Institute. Buy.com operates a virtual model in which
products are shipped directly from distribution partners to customers,
eliminating a step in the retail supply chain.”Earth Day used to be the
only time when Americans thought about their impact on the environment.
Now, every day we consider what we can do to reduce our carbon
footprint,” said Tom Lally, VP, Americas Commercial Business, Imation.
“Using Imation Earthwise toner cartridges is one of the easiest ways
that businesses and home office users can make a difference. Not only
is this line guaranteed to meet the highest quality standards while
saving money, it’s an environmentally wise choice further enhanced by
the green nature of the Buy.com model. Additionally, with four ways to
recycle Imation Earthwise cartridges, completing the cycle has never
been simpler.”
