Ink Cartridge Recycling Index to Divert More Than 700 Million Ink Cartridges From Landfills
InkCycle’s new cartridge measurement tool diverted 394 tons of toner and ink cartridges from entering landfills last year (2008).
Ink cartridges are considered e-waste; they are harmful to the environment and can take eons to decompose, according to IdealBite.com (http://www.idealbite.com/tiplibrary/archives/getting-inked). Companies and consumers should recycle their old ones, and when ink cartridges are purchased, go with refilled ones, which work just like conventional cartridges.
According to Brad Roderick, executive vice president of InkCycle, “It’s time consumers and businesses know how much their green initiatives are really saving the planet.”

By the Numbers…Carbon Neutronics™ Certified
Of course, it’s one thing to say you’re doing something environmentally responsible. It’s another thing to prove it.
That’s why we created the Carbon Neutronics Index. It’s a proprietary software program that we share with those who purchase and use grenk products. It helps customers calculate the tonnage they’re keeping out of landfills by choosing grenk.
Far too many businesses don’t get the credit they deserve for their exo-initiative. The Carbon Neutronics Index makes it easy to track and record the effect one company can make in reducing landfill waste and keeping cartridges in circulation for reuse.
It’s also a great tool for comparing the cost difference of using remanufactured grenk cartridges over original manufacturer print cartridges, and can provide measurable case studies to help customers build support for other environmental initiatives while improving their bottom line.
Carbon Neutronics™ is made up of three words: Carbon + Neutral + Electronics. CNI makes it easy to track and record the effect one company can make in reducing landfill waste and keeping cartridges in circulation for reuse. The Carbon Neutronics™ Index was created to provide companies with an accurate account of their potential e-waste that has been diverted by using grenk™ products.
