What happens to the empty toner cartridges?
Some toner cartridges will be re-used by being remanufactured right here in
Australia. The environmental benefits speak for them selves but
remanufacturing also offers a good alternative to the highly priced imported
product. Not only are you helping Australia's
economy you are also keeping Australians employed in a thriving new industry. 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 virgins. It is only the virgins that
can generally be remanufactured and as such they
are the type of empty toner cartridge for which will be paid
the most money. Toner cartridges that have been
remanufactured before are not usually worth as
much as virgins, and while some can be
remanufactured, most are broken
down for raw material recycling.

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. 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.
