OfficeMax Launches New Ink & Toner Recycling Program
New Self-Replenishing and Online Tracking Features Make it Easier to Recycle Used Cartridges
NAPERVILLE,
Ill., July 07 — OfficeMax(R) Incorporated , a leader in office
products and services, today announced it has launched a new Recycling
Program through its MaxPerks(SM) membership program. The OfficeMax
MaxPerks Recycling Program provides customers with a comprehensive
system to collect and redeem recyclable office items such as used ink
and toner cartridges and cell phones with battery. After enrolling in
the program, customers can select the recycle container size that best
fits their needs and one will be shipped at no cost. When the full
container is returned, a new container is automatically shipped to the
customer for more recycle collection. For every qualified ink cartridge
and cell phone with battery returned to OfficeMax, customers will earn
a $3 reward in their MaxPerks account. The MaxPerks online tracking
feature provides a record for each return and redemption, particularly
beneficial for business accounting or fund raising activities that
require regularly updated results.”We heard from our customers that
they want to do more with their recycling efforts but they don’t know
how to get started,” said Ryan Vero, executive vice president and chief
merchandising officer for OfficeMax. “Ink and toner cartridges and cell
phones are common disposable items that take up a lot of room in a
landfill. By providing free collection materials and an online tracking
system, this new program enables MaxPerks customers — from students
and teachers to small business owners — to start an on-going Recycling
Program and earn rewards along the way.”Through its retail store
Recycling Program, OfficeMax has already collected and remanufactured
more than 13 million ink cartridges since 2005. But cartridge recycling
is just one component of the complete OfficeMax ink solution. To start,
OfficeMax provides a full range of options for all ink and toner needs,
with a complete selection of manufacturer or private label cartridges.
OfficeMax is also the first office product retailer to provide an ink
cartridge refill service, using a state-of-the-art computerized kiosk
that analyzes the cartridge quality and print performance. When used
cartridges are recycled at an OfficeMax retail store, OfficeMax
provides a $3 instant discount on any in-store purchase.To read more
