What happens to the empty toner cartridges?
Some toner cartridges will be re-used by being remanufactured. The environmental benefits speak for them selves but
remanufacturing also offers a good alternative to the highly priced imported
counterfeit product. For those empty
toners that can’t be remanufactured all plastics and metals are separated
and returned to the recycle chain as raw materials for use in some other
application/product.

Are all empty toner cartridges the same?
NO!...Empty toner cartridges that have never been remanufactured before are referred to as Original/OEM's or virgins. It is only specific virgins that can generally be remanufactured. Toner cartridges that have been remanufactured in the past can sometimes be used again but are usually broken down and used for raw material or Cart Collect will have them responsibly recycled.

Are empty toner cartridges really an environmental nuisance?
It takes over 4 litres of liquid petroleum to manufacture a typical all-in-one toner cartridge. It takes less greenhouse gasses to produce a remanufactured cartridge than a virgin cartridge. If the cartridges are not reused we are continually using a non – renewable resource and when we have finished using it we are dumping it in landfill where it may take thousands of years to break down.
