Ink Solution is providing businesses and consumers with an alternative to reduce the impact of millions of cartridges that are thrown away and that end up in landfills each year. By making this choice, you are helping to protect the future of our environment. This proactive solution to waste reduction benefits consumers, entrepreneurs and the environment. Every cartridge refilled means one less cartridge in our landfills.

You can feel good about supporting sustainable development for the planet’s limited natural resources and not adding to our already overloaded landfills. With our continued commitment, we look forward to the day when recycling cartridges is as common as separating waste material for the recycle bins in our homes.

Facts:

• It takes about a gallon of oil to make a new laser cartridge.
• Almost 8 cartridges are thrown away per second in the United States alone! 
• In North America alone, over 350 million cartridges per year are discarded in our landfills, and that number increases by 12 percent annually! 
• A laser cartridge thrown into a landfill can take up to 450 years to decompose. 
• Some components made of industrial grade plastics will take over a thousand years to decompose.
• Every remanufactured cartridge saves nearly 3 1/2 pounds of solid waste from being deposited in landfills. 
• 70 percent of used printer cartridges throughout the world are currently being thrown out.
• In one year, if the world’s discarded cartridges were stacked end-to-end, they would circle the earth over three times.

Every single cartridge saved from a landfill makes a difference. But imagine the difference made when 1,000,000 or even 1,000 cartridges are saved? This will not only protect our environment, but also save consumers thousands of dollars. Now imagine the difference when individuals, then organizations, then cities, then states and then nations start participating! That is Impact with Effect!
