Want to reduce oil consumption? Start in your office…

High energy rates. Climbing oil prices. Everyone is looking for ways to reduce their dependency on oil. Most start by cutting down on their use of petrol or home heating oil. However, more and more people are realizing that the office is another good place to reduce oil consumption. That’s because printer cartridge recycling is a simple, practical and effective way to use less oil. 

Printer cartridge recycling is good for the environment

When printer cartridges are recycled, it reduces the demand for new cartridges, thus reducing the global demand for oil. Recycling is easy and effective.  

Consider this: It takes nearly one gallon of oil (112 ounces) to manufacture one, new laser toner cartridge and 2.5 ounces of oil to manufacture one new inkjet cartridge. In North America alone, over 350 million cartridges are discarded in landfills each year— that means over 156 million gallons of wasted oil!*

Printer cartridge recycling is good for the wallet 

Environmental Office Solutions, Inc. (EOS) of East Hartford, Connecticut, pays consumers for empty printer cartridges—as much as $35 for one cartridge.** EOS helps their customers generate income from customized recycling programs that are easy and inexpensive to implement. EOS also offers competitively priced, brand-new or refilled cartridge replacements.
