The Environment
Most printer cartridges can be remanufactured, refilled or reloaded. Recycling is a hot issue and another huge growth industry. Here are a few good reasons to recycle printer cartridges:
- It takes about a gallon of oil to make a new laser cartridge
- About 1,500 tonnes of toner cartridges are sent to landfill in Australia each year
- In just 12 months, cartridge recycling could save 4.3 million litres of oil in a country of 22 million people
- Laser printer cartridges account for over 90% of all throw-away cartridges
- A laser cartridge thrown into landfill can take up to 450 years to decompose
- Buying a new cartridge uses more resources with a higher cost to you
- Working for your community, in your community. As well as being environmentally responsible, recycling cartridges also creates jobs. Our cartridges are locally, refilled or remanufactured on site, supporting your local community (compared to new cartridges which are mass produced overseas and sold by local dealers)
By bringing your used cartridges to Cartridge World you can help protect Australia's environment and
we offer the consumer an alternative to purchasing new whilst helping to save environment
