Cartridge World Helps Reduce Landfill Waste, Saves Consumers Money

Rethink Throwing Out Your Ink

EMERYVILLE, CA (Wednesday, February 23, 2005) - Every year, more than 300 million plastic printer cartridges end up in landfills due to the major cartridge manufacturers, according to Lyra Research.

To combat this problem, Cartridge World, the largest retailer of cartridge refilling services in the world, allows consumers and businesses to refill cartridges for inkjet and laser printers, photocopy and fax machines. In fact, Cartridge World is able to refill most cartridges three or more times, depending on the product, which helps protect the environment by reducing waste.

In addition to the great environmental benefits of using Cartridge World’s refilling services, consumers can actually save up to 50 percent off the retail price of a new cartridge without losing ink quality. Furthermore, Cartridge World offers a 100 percent money back guarantee with each printer cartridge that is refilled.

"People are beginning to realize that printer cartridge replacement is neither cost-effective nor environmentally friendly,” said Burt Yarkin, CEO of Cartridge World North America. “The typical savings on our refill services is up to 50% off the retail price of a new cartridge and by recycling cartridges you can help protect our environment. Together, these two strengths create a wide-open opportunity to be filled by Cartridge World."
