Cartridge Environment Recycling Toner and Ink
|
A couple of years ago Sustain Print Cartridges, a Chicago based environmentally conscientious company joined forces with the Chicago chapter of the large non-for-profit Junior Achievement. This organization has raised money through the so-called Ecopoints program of Sustain corporation. In addition, other people and companies purchasing toner cartridges from Sustain have the option to donate a percentage of their purchase to the charity. The fundraising partnership has been a success for both parties. Because of that success, Sustain Print Cartridges is now, Jan.07, looking for additional non-for-profits, corporations, educational institutions, local governments and stores to set up similar programs about cartridge environment recycling toner and ink.
Sustain wants to offer opportunities to other non-for-profits, government entities, corporations and institutions to benefit their organization, save money and help save the Earth by utilizing these programs. Their strategic partners can raise money through recycling an ink jet and toner cartridge. E.g. such as Epson, HP, Lexmark, Canon ink jet and laser toner cartridge recycling services.

According to Sustain there are many benefits for the organizations and businesses that take advantage of Sustain Print Cartridges and its business philosophy. "It is designed to strengthen the bottom line of corporations while supporting great causes in your community. Not only can they raise money for their selected charities, but they can save money on toner cartridges and save the environment at the same time."
Sustain also has customized pricing models for its strategic partners. "Essentially, when you purchase a toner cartridge from Sustain, you are purchasing a renewable, sustainable resource that automatically gives back to you and the community every time, without contributing harmful waste to landfills," they say. And according to them, recycling an empty toner cartridge prevents up to 4.5 lbs of plastic (petroleum derivatives) from being disposed of in a landfill.

Sustain's reward points are offered for a wide variety of products and services ranging from free airfare miles anywhere in the continental United States to gift certificates from Best Buy and free Starbucks coffee.

Sustain notes that one fear people have is that they may lose their warrantee on their OEM if they recycle their cartridges. This is not true. Non-OEM imaging products such as ink jet and toner cartridges will never void your imaging products' warranty. The Sherman Anti-Trust Act and Magnusson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act protect the rights of a consumer to purchase the product that has the most value, not to the imaging product manufacturer. And, no contract can prevent the consumer from recycling empty imaging products with a company of their choosing. Sustain guarantees their brand toner cartridge for 100% and that they will replace the cartridge at no cost to the consumer if found to be defective. Other suppliers may have this same guarantee.
