Some Quick facts:
Each year over 375 million toner cartridges are thrown away..
To put this perspective the 375 million cartridges put end-to end would circle the earth over three times.
97% of material in toner cartridge can be recycled and reused, which is done in the re-manufacturing process.
For each pound of new material used in remanufacturing, 5 to 9 pounds of virgin materials are saved, thereby helping us conserve precious natural resources.
Approximately 3 quarts of oil are burned in the production of a single new toner cartridge. A used toner cartridge can be remanufactured up to four times, depending on its type and condition, thus potentially saving up to 12 quarts of fuel. Using remanufactured toner cartridges also saves energy
