Cartridge World – looking after the environment

When it comes to recycling and being environmentally conscious, most people view it as time consuming and costing too much money. Now, Cartridge World is making it easy to save on both fronts.

Cartridge World, the world's fastest growing ink and toner remanufacturing retailer and franchisor is reminding that saving money and helping the environment is easy when it comes to reusing printer cartridges.

A discarded printer cartridge thrown into a landfill can take up to 450 years to decompose and with more than 350 million cartridges thrown out every year it all adds up to mountains of unnecessary waste. Since printers are commonplace in every home office and business, it makes sense to reuse and refill empty ink and toner cartridges – and saves money in the process.

Recycling programs for cans, bottles and papers are mainstream, but few realise the additional impact they can make by reusing and refilling printer cartridges. Customers simply swap out their empty cartridge or purchase one already prefilled and find a significant savings compared to buying new.
