Newswise — “The time has come for businesses to start bringing their recycling program full circle,” explains Chuck Mache, CEO of American Toner Serv. “Day after day, I see office managers take the time to mail their empty toner cartridges back to the manufacturer for recycling, but the effort is consistently followed by a phone call to order a new cartridge. This is a misstep on the part of companies desiring to be fully green.”
Because of this common occurrence, and the lack of knowledge about the benefits of using recycled toner cartridges as a whole, the Northern California- based marketer of recycled, compatible toner cartridges, is working to green the office supply industry one recycled print cartridge at a time.
While returning a used cartridge to a manufacturer for recycling is an important step, following that action with the purchase of a recycled toner cartridge is the only way for a company to be completely green.
“Every compatible toner cartridge that American TonerServ sells keeps one half-pound of waste out of landfills,” says Mache. “The recovery and use of empty printer cartridges,” he explains, “reduces millions of cubic feet of material from waste disposal sites. In addition, each cartridge sold by American TonerServ is made out of approximately 97 percent recycled parts and winds up consuming 80 percent less energy than it would to manufacture a cartridge from scratch.”
“Companies need to commit to this environmental solution in its entirety. It can make a big impact on their recycling program, on the environment and on their budget,” says Mache.
By purchasing recycled toner cartridges you can help to keep 1.9 billion pounds of waste out of landfills annually while saving up to 50 percent on the cost of printing and imaging supplies annually. It is estimated that businesses spend up to 60 percent of their office supply budget on imaging supplies. To be able to significantly reduce this number while keeping waste out of landfills is a no-brainer.
Not only are recycled toner cartridges green and cost efficient, but they also maintain the same type of quality as brand new equipment maintains. The more businesses learn about the lower prices and smaller impact of recycled cartridges, the better off they will be.
“Once companies realize the oversight in their toner cartridge protocol, there will be less waste created and a great deal of money saved. It’s a win-win situation,” explains Mache.
