the environmental impact of toner cartridges

  • About 70% of used printer cartridges are being thrown out.
  • Energy use by 20 – 40%
  • About 75% of waste is recyclable, but we only recycle about 30% of it.
  • A laser cartridge being thrown into a landfill can take up to 450 years to decompose – some components take over 1,000 years!
  • In one year, if the world’s discarded cartridges were stacked end-to-end, they would circle over the earth over three times

50% OF CARTRIDGE WORLD TONER AND CARTRIDGES ARE RECYCLED*

This means each day we recycle more than 200 pounds of plastic, amounting to 40 tons of cartridges* a year that doesn’t end up in landfills.
