An environmental plea...

Yes it seems everyone is jumping on the environmental bandwagon from burning up the atmosphere flying around the world to New York asking its residents to consider drinking tap water to cut down on the number of plastic bottles being shipped in and then once empty just thrown away, wasting even more of the world's increasingly precious resources.

Here at Cartridge Wizard we'd love to just "magic" away cartridge waste without harm to the environment but lets face it we're living in the real world and without a sustained recycling effort just what kind of planet do we intend to hand over to the next generation..?

Heres some facts on producing new laser cartridges you might be interested to know about (it'll give you something to talk about by the water cooler at least!):

If you currently throw away laser cartridges into landfill, then you may be pleased to know many companies including Cartridge Wizard offer access to recycling facilities to help the environment.

Thousands of tonnes of toner cartridge are sent to landfill in the UK each year, which is huge waste when most printer cartridges can be reused many times.

It takes 20 times more energy to produce a new laser cartridge than to reuse one, and upto three litres of oil is needed to make a new toner cartridge. An amazing amount for something that seems so insignificant.

If we can reduce the amount of energy and oil that goes into making toner cartridges, then that's fantastic.

We all have a responsibility to recycle: the individual, the small business and the huge global giants - don't think that your input won't make a difference. Believe us when we say it will!

We can help. Send us your laser cartridges and we will ENSURE they do not end up in landfill. If you're not sure call us on 01454 777234 and we'll give you with impartial advice and information on recycling your empty laser cartridges for all major makes of printers.
