The franchise revealed the design at its convention last week to celebrate its 10th anniversary.
Global Newswire reported that the eco-friendly car wrap, presented to delegates at Cartridge World’s annual convention in Las Vegas last week, is designed to “promote its expanded line of home and office printing products and recycling”.
The wrap uses the 3M Envision Wrap Films, which are “new graphic materials that are friendly to the environment”, and include bio-based materials that exclude “certain harmful chemicals”, as well as using 60 percent less solvent “which decreases chemical exposure”. The franchise added that when printed with water-based inks, the car wrap “is the most sustainable graphic solution on the market”.
The franchise’s 10 year anniversary in North America has seen it open 600 stores in the USA, Canada and Mexico, and it also revealed that it launched retail stores in Africa in 2012. Cartridge World North America’s CEO William Swanson stated: “Cartridge World is meeting an enormous demand for cost-effective and sustainable printing products. We are reducing the impact on the environment with remanufactured ink and toner, and we support local recycling programs that help businesses, schools and customers reduce their carbon footprint.”
The company intends to wrap 100 cars by the end of the year, with Swanson adding: “We’re reinforcing Cartridge World’s green products and local recycling solutions. We recycled more than 4.5 million printer cartridges last year.”
