Being Green @ Work: Tip #1

Ink Cartridges: Every year more than 167 million environmentally unfriendly ink cartridges are dumped in U.S. landfills each year, generating 40 million pounds of unnecessary waste. Instead of this unnecessary waste, use a refiller or remanufacturer prepared to offer a written guarantee against equipment damage and downtime caused by their products.

We use Cartridge World to refill all of our ink cartridges, and we have been for the last 7-8 months. Changing this one thing, we can tell how much of a difference it is making, by looking back at the waste we produced prior to refilling. It is also better for our bottom line because refills are more cost effective than buying new cartridges every time. And any cartridges that we will not refill, we recycle...no more throwing cartridges in the trash!!
