DID you know, according to the trade magazine for the toner and inkjet remanufacturing industry, The Recycler, each empty laser cartridge contributes about 2.5 pounds (0.48kg) in land till waste. Each inkjet cartridge contributes about 1 ounce (0.012kg) in land fill waste the Clover Technologies Group have declared. And each discarded laser cartridge adds approximately 2.5 pounds (0.48kg) of metal and plastic waste to our land fills say the International Imaging Technology Council. They also tell us each cartridge can take up to 1000 years to decompose.
