RECYCLING
At Rhinotek we are committed to recycling and saving the
environment. Every year over 400 million toner cartridges and inkjet
cartridges, with a weight of 200 million pounds, are sent to the land fills.
It takes approximately 3 quarts of oil to produce a cartridge. Recycling
all cartridges would save about 300 million gallons of oil annually.
It's a function of supply and demand and with oil demand high, our
gasoline prices are close to $3.00 per gallon. It's our choice to take a little
extra effort to keep our environment clean and our costs down. We can have the land fill
picture on the left, with toner cartridges that will take thousands of
years to decompose, or
the green valleys on the right. Recycling also makes economic
sense. Most schools have setup toner and cartridge recycling programs to fund
their computer labs. We are proud that we work with
many of these recyclers for a cleaner environment.
Please check with the schools in your
community to contribute to their recycling effort or setup your
company's own recycling effort by contacting one of the organizations
below.
