This year, more than 350 million laser and inkjet cartridges will end up in America's landfills. That's equivalent to more than 90 000 truckloads and worth a recycling value of more than $1 billion.

Toner cartridges don't have to go out with the rubbish. Ninty-seven per cent of the components are recyclable. They can be remanufactured into new ones, which saves raw materials, landfill space and other important resources. They are made of 40 per cent plastic, 40 per cent metal and small percentages of foam, rubber and toner.

You can return used toner cartridges to most office supply vendors. You don't need to be afraid that remanufactured toner cartridges won't provide you with the printing quality of new ones. Just make sure that your vendor is licensed to do the job or uses a company that has that licence. Toner Direct is one such company in Bulgaria http://tonerdirect.bg.

Remanufactured toner cartridges have come a long way since they were first produced. The quality today meets Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM) standards.
