The remanufacturer has outlined its operations toward sustainability during 2012. 
The report, available here, is the company’s fourth such report, and outlines the “major environmental impacts” of Clover’s operations from 1 January to 31 December 2012, as well as looking at the goals and achievements from the year in addition to objectives for the 2013 report.
Among the major findings from the report include the collection of over 70.4 million cartridges, with 49.9 million pounds of material kept out of landfills. The average inkjet cartridge collected by Clover contained over 97 percent of “post-conusmer recycled content”, whilst the average toner cartridge contained over 90 percent, and the company also offset 100 percent of its US energy consumption “with wind power and renewable energy credits”. The company also cut paper usage by 50 percent at its “highest” print test facility.
The report in summation saw a decline in cartridges collected from the last sustainability report in 2012, with 76.2 million units collected, and 56 million pounds of material was kept from landfills last year in contrast to 49.9 million this year.
Jim Cerkleski, CEO of Clover Holdings, stated: “Since issuing our first sustainability report four years ago, we have made tremendous strides in our endeavor to preserve natural resources, use less energy, and reduce waste.
“We continue to remain committed to the principal that we must ‘meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’ and this report clearly documents the impact of that commitment.”
