Toner Cartridge Remanufacturing Saves the Environment
WALTHAM,
Mass.–May  2006–You are concerned with global warming, the economy
and the environment. You strive to make a difference in all that you do
and for that reason, you faithfully recycle. At home you separate
plastic, tin and aluminum for the local recycler and at work you
recycle your used paper and empty toner cartridges. Have you ever
wondered what happens after you return cartridges to a recycler? Are
you really making a difference?The magnitude of cartridge recycling
efforts was recently outlined in a detailed report by the International
Imaging Technology Council, a not-for-profit trade association that
represents the interests of the world’s imaging supplies
industry.”There are more than 5,000 printer cartridge remanufacturers
or dealers in the United States today who are responsible for employing
35,000 people and withholding more than 38,000 tons of industrial grade
plastic and metals from landfills every year.”The average
remanufacturer restores 338 cartridges per month, and is therefore
saving 264 gallons of oil and 845 pounds of solid waste from landfills
each month. Stacked one on top of the other, a tower of cartridges
produced annually by an average remanufacturer would exceed the height
of the Empire State Building.”(1)Tricia Judge, Executive Director of
the Council, prepared the report. She goes on to say that, “While other
manufacturing industries are shrinking or disappearing, the printer
cartridge remanufacturing industry is growing and thriving.””There are
three different paths a spent toner cartridge can take,” advises Joe
Rogan, COO of Clarity Imaging, manufacturer of PageMax. “The first is a
cartridge that can’t be used. Those are melted down and the plastic is
used for other items like lawn chairs. The second is refilling, which
is what most remanufacturers in the industry are doing. The third is
total recycling, which is what Clarity Imaging does. The only part of
the cartridge not recycled is the last remaining dregs of used toner.
We reuse every piece of the empty toner cartridge including the
cardboard box it’s shipped in.”You can feel good about your recycling
efforts as they relate to toner cartridges. With over 5,000 printer
cartridge remanufacturers or dealers in the United States today, you
will find a good home for your empty toner cartridges.
