As we American begin to become more green in our home and office practices as a society, a growing trend is refilling toner cartridges. This practice is when empty cartridges are refueled with new toner. This not only amounts to huge saving, but also enables the used cartridge to be used again and has a significant impact on the reduction of waste and disposal.

While the green movement has continually grown in the United States, the parameters for toner recycling have changed exponentially. Many of the large manufacturers and remanufacturers of print cartridges have stopped collecting depleted products. This is partially due to the fact that the United States Postal Services has had several postal rate increases that more than doubled the costs associated with returning depleted cartridges from printing machines. These challenges have made toner recycling more difficult for the industry as a whole as it is harder to make a profit by performing these types of tasks.

However the reasons that groups should still attempt to practice this objective are because waste is still a growing concern and these items are some of the easiest and most efficient things to be reused and recycled. Everything that is thrown away required energy and resources to create and deliver, and they will take an additional surplus of energy and resources to process and dispose of.

It seems that today more than ever the old rule applies: reduce, reuse, recycle. By creating a recycling program, your organization will be broadcasting an important message to the community regarding your commitment to the environment and other green concerns. For help, simply contact manufacturers and remanufacturers and determine a means to get the items to them and then spread the word around your organization. As more and more items are reused, the impact will truly be felt.
