Reliable Printing Solutions’ customers have saved money by purchasing remanufactured toner cartridges. Costing up to 60% less than the original manufacturer’s cartridges, Reliable Printing Solution’s IBM, HP, Dell, and generic refurbished products also represent an environmentally conscious business perspective. Manufacturing toner cartridges requires a gallon of oil, one of the most highly contested and precious resources on the planet. Reliable Printing Solutions, however, requires no such waste to recycle used cartridges. At present, 70% of all toner cartridges end up in landfills; Reliable Printing Solutions aims to help protect the earth by reducing that number. Customers often hesitate before buying recycled products because of the misperception that they are old or of lower quality. However, remanufactured laser cartridges function as well as new models, and Reliable Printing Solutions performs an exhaustive check of all cartridge components before beginning the recycling process. Reliable Printing Solutions’ remanufactured laser cartridges can even last longer than new cartridges, since some contain substantially more toner. More than 350 million cartridges are discarded into North American landfills each year, and the number is increasing annually. In response to this grave ecological issue, Reliable Printing Solutions provides its customers a means to save money while augmenting the sustainability of their businesses.

    Reliable Printing Solutions reduces printer cartridge waste through offering recycled cartridges that last longer and cost less than original equipment manufacturer (OEM) products. 350 million printer cartridges are relegated to landfills each year in North America, adding products that can take hundreds or even 1,000 years to fully decompose.

    The positive news is that most printer cartridges can be reused up to six times, while continuing to offer levels of quality and performance comparable to new products. As a tight economic environment encourages finding new ways to save, companies are becoming more attentive to the benefits of recycling. Approximately 33 percent of businesses nationwide now use re-manufactured printer cartridges, gaining notable savings in the process.

    On an individual level, the act of recycling laser and ink-jet printer cartridges can help consumers save money while protecting the environment, and is increasingly easy to accomplish. Cartridge packages often contain detailed instructions on how to recycle the product. In addition, nonprofit groups organize laser cartridge recycling drives in offices and schools, providing convenient boxes for donating used cartridges. Major printing retailers such as OfficeMax, Staples, and Office Depot offer incentive programs that provide store credit for returning empty cartridges. Additionally, the United States Postal Service facilitates the recycling of printer cartridges. Beginning in 2009, select post offices allowed customers the option of obtaining free postage-paid envelopes for various items, including inkjet and toner cartridges, as well as small electronic items such as cell phones, palmtop computers, and digital cameras.

    Reliable Printing Solutions is at the vanguard of a growing movement to reduce the environmental impact of disposed printer cartridges. Offering state-of-the-art re-manufacturing, the company’s strict quality control processes include checking the structural integrity of cartridge casing and components, and reformulating ink and toner to exact OEM specifications. Reliable Printing Solutions offers nationwide shipping for their products, which are compatible with leading manufacturers such as Hewlett-Packard, IBM, and Dell.
