Image Microsystems Gives Old Ink Cartridges another Chance
August
2008 Image Microsystems is a Texas based company that specializes in
remanufacturing computers and ink cartridges. The firm is committed to
recycling these products and making the world a greener and more
efficient place.“Probably fifteen to twenty million pieces of ink
cartridges did not go to landfill because of this process,” said CEO
Alex Abadi.“Our impact that we’re trying to make sure that we
understand is to recover every bit of plastic that comes into this
possibly where we can remanufacture it,” company VP Jim Rollins
added.In addition to the company’s green efforts, it also provides work
experience for students and alumni from the Texas School for the Deaf.
The workers prepare ink cartridges for recycling.In a recent
article, company employee John Davis talked about the positive impact
the workers are making.“I think this is a lot,” Davis said. “Recycling,
I think it needs to continue and it’s a part of our future that we
always have to consider, absolutely.”Unlike many re-manufacturers,
Image Microsystems is intent on using every last bit of the ink and
toner cartridges they receive. Every single part of old ink cartridges
is removed and separated into appropriate lots.Aside from
remanufactured cartridges, the company also designs and sells its only
line of stepping stones made from the recycled plastics.“We have put
some design in it,” Abadi said. “We have different type of stones so
it’s user-friendly.”For more information on ink cartridge recycling and
