Your Cartridges Don't Belong in a Landfill!

May 24th 2024

More than 370 million ink and toner cartridges are sold in the US annually and less than 30% get recycled.  At PCI we make it easy to be kind to the environment.  PCI offers free recycling for qualified quantities of all PCI brand and some OEM toner cartridges. Here are just a few reasons you should recycle.

  • A laser cartridge thrown into landfill can take up to 400 years to decompose. Some components made of industrial grade plastics will take over a thousand years to decompose
  • It takes about a gallon of oil to produce every new toner/laser cartridge.
  • Every remanufactured laser cartridge saves nearly 2 pounds of metal & plastic waste from being deposited in landfills. 
  • Toner cartridge remanufacturing saves over 38,000 tons of plastic and metal from landfills.
