Environmental Leader: Ink Cartridge Recycling Hits 3 Million |
Almost 3 million ink and toner cartridges have been recycled by Quill.com, an e-tailer business supplies provider, thanks to the national Ink and Toner Recycle Program it launched in 2011. In 2013 records reported 1.7 million ink cartridges were saved from being discarded and dumped into the landfill and a 26% increase is expected for 2014 collection results. By accepting all national brand name cartridges and providing a pre-paid shipping label (in addition to free boxes!) Quill.com is making it easy for consumers to participate in preventing further environmental contamination of greenhouse gas emissions. You are probably wondering at this point what happens to the used cartridges after Quill.com receives your package -- cartridges "are either reused as re-manufactured cartridges or broken down and used in the production of other office supplies." Talk about a closed-loop cycle! Become a part of the solution and learn more about Quill.com's "ink-credible" recycling program here: Ink Cartridge Recycling
