Send in your old phones and empty ink-jet cartridges so they can be reused.
Why:
- Every year over 400 million cartridges are discarded into our nation’s landfills with a combined weight of 200 million pounds.
- A laser cartridge discarded today will take over 1000 years to decompose.
- Manufacturing a new laser cartridge typically requires three and a half-quarts of oil – a non-renewable fossil fuel. In comparison, a remanufactured laser cartridge only uses a quart and a half of oil.
