Reduce landfill

It is estimated that over 18 million cartridges are sent to landfill in Australia each year. Each remanufactured cartridge you buy is essentially one more cartridge that you have saved from entering landfill.

Save Resources

Up to 3.4L of oil is needed to make one new cartridge. In Australia, printer cartridge re-use could save up to 4.95 million litres of oil per year. As an industry, remanufacturing cartridges already conserves more oil per month than was spilled by the Exxon Valdes in 1989, but there’s still a lot more to be saved. In addition to the oil, vast amounts of water and electricity are also used in manufacturing a new cartridge.

Reduce C02 Emissions

Some studies have shown that for each new cartridge up to 7kg of carbon dioxide are emitted during the manufacturing process. A remanufactured cartridge reuses many of the components of the new cartridge which can enable the cartridge to be produced with around 50% less carbon emissions than an OEM cartridge. But a 50% carbon emission saving v.s.
OEM simply wasn’t enough for us so we decided to make our remanufactured products carbon neutral.
