Every year hundreds of millions of empty inkjet and laser cartridges are thrown away in landfills around the country. However, most of these cartridges have considerable value and can be recycled or sold to remanufactures or brokers.

In-store refilling keeps your customers from discarding their empty inkjet cartridges, so therefore the Inkjet Factory provides you with a positive environmental benefit for the community and the potential of extremely positive PR for your business.

Why aren't more inkjet cartridges recycled?

Business customers and end users of all types are not always aware they can have cartridges recycled by someone else without using refill kits. Perhaps the biggest reason more cartridges aren't recycled is that they are very easy to throw away. Recycling inkjet cartridges is a fairly new service, so customers need to be reminded just how valuable their empty inkjet cartridges can be.

Currently, many cartridge brokers pay as much as $7.50 for an empty inkjet cartridge and $20 for an empty laser cartridge. This often overlooked revenue stream can quickly generate considerable income. As part of the comprehensive training package, SME can help you to quickly establish a profitable cartridge collection program through:
