Remanufactured toner and
     laser printer service!

Environmental benefits of purchasing remanufactured cartridges and refurbished printers:

A boy in Guiyu, China sweeping toner from a printer cartridge. During the manufacturing of an OEM cartridge, more than three quarts of oil are consumed. This equates to more than 375,000,000 gallons of oil consumed every year to make toner and inkjet cartridges. Even worse than these staggering atrocities is that many cartridges end up in cities like Guiyu, China where they are incinerated or dissolved with hazardous chemicals to extract residual metals. These processes contaminate the local air, soil and groundwater and one in ten children in Guiyu have birth defects due to this horrific pollution.

• Cartridge remanufacturing will eliminate more than 42,000 tons of plastic, metal, and toner from the waste stream.
• Every cartridge that is remanufactured saves that core, consisting of approximately two and a half pounds of industrial-grade plastic, from going into the waste stream. Industrial-grade plastic does not begin to degrade for at least 1000 years.
• Over 100 million toner cartridges are dumped each year in the US alone.
• Stacked end to end, cartridges thrown away each year would encircle the earth - that’s over  23,860 miles!
• 3 quarts of oil are used to produce each new toner cartridge.

By making sure your cartridges go to Lasers Edge, you are assured they will be reused.  The OEM cartridge return programs generally do not reuse the cartridges.  They are simply shredded and/or dumped in third-world countries.

Lasers Edge is a world-class competitor with the OEMs and offers high-quality products based on extensive research and testing.
