Refill Ink Cartridges

Save Plastics and Oil, and Reduce Waste

By TDG Community

Refilling and reusing ink cartridges is a simple way to reduce tons of annual waste. Trusted service providers can ensure the print and quality is maintained. Refills can cost up to 50% less than new ones.

There are more than 640 ink cartridge recycle centers in Cartridge World stores throughout the U.S. Shocking facts:

In one year, if the world's discarded cartridges were stacked end-to-end, they would circle the Earth more than three times.
It takes about a gallon of oil to make a new toner cartridge. So refilling will help save oil, especially with the current gas/oil situation.
Almost eight cartridges are thrown away per second in the United States.
In North America alone, more than 350 million cartridges per year are discarded in our landfills, and that number increases by 12% annually.
Every remanufactured cartridge saves nearly 3.5 pounds of solid waste from being deposited in landfills.
70% of used printer cartridges throughout the world are currently being thrown out.
