The aftermarket imaging supplies industry is responsible for reclaiming over 42,000 tons of empty toner cartridges each year that would have otherwise been sent to landfills. This process also aids in saving energy as each compatible toner cartridge helps to save over 3 quarts of oil.

This process thereby diverts the cartridge from the solid waste stream, retaining, to the extent practicable, components that have been through at least on life cycle and replacing consumable or normal wear components.

Remanufacturing is considered the highest form of recycling by the Environmental Protection Agency because it requires the least amount of energy to make a product ready for reuse.
