CartridgeWorld, based in Emeryville, California, started out as a family ofstores in Australia and the UK before conquering America. Thecompany has made its voice known throughout the world and hasappeared on shows aired by FOX and CNN.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, it takesapproximately a gallon of oil to create a toner cartridge. Add tothat the fact that “every second, another eight“empties” in the United States are tossed out”.In North America alone, that totals somewhere around 350 millioncartridges per year. If that isn’t mind boggling enough,consider this: it takes about 450 million years for a singlecartridge to completely disappear.
While buying recycled or refilled cartridges is a start, CartridgeWorld wants consumers to go a step further. Their motto:“Please don’t feed the landfills”.
