Do you recycle your Toner and Ink Cartridges?...
This year, millions of ink and toner cartridges will be consumed in the United States. A small fraction of empty cartridges will be recycled, but many more end up in landfills. Hazardous chemicals from the cartridges can pollute the environment, while the plastic they're made of will take centuries to decompose.
ConservaPrint is a place to get informed about recycling programs. Together we can reduce the toxic effects of our waste. ConservaPrint is a purpose driven venture that will make a difference by educating the consumer to conserve where they can and to recycle because they must!
Recycling Print Cartridges, Paper and Printers!
At Conservaprint.com, we seek to make a difference in the way businesses and individuals view disposal and recycling.
Realize: Be aware there are many ways to "make a difference"as it relates to conservation and to our dwindling resources. If we use a few simple guidelines, we can reduce the amount of ink/toner we consume. Please view our "How To Conserve" page for a helpful checklist.
Research: We strongly encourage your participation in a recycling program that works for you. Scrap companies will take your old printers and recycle the materials into new products. Please be sure to dispose of your toner and ink cartridges in an approved recycle bin. Some companies offer money back for toner cartridges. Either way, do your research and make sure the cartridges you use are being recycled properly.
Recycle: Most printer cartridges can be recycled and some of the components used a 2nd time in a re-manufactured cartridge. Make sure your cartridges are not going into the trash. Know your options be diligent in your own efforts towards doing your part for the environment. For additional information, we recommend the Environmental Protection Agency website ( www.epa.gov ) to learn more about proper disposal of your office products.
