Planet Earth – Under Threat From Ink
by
The Ink Shop
We are now at risk of further damaging our fragile ecosystem because of our increasing love for digital printing.
Home and small business printing, digital camera enthusiasts, email & internet buffs are all playing a part in the destruction of our planet, and so are you! In fact every single photocopy in your possession has, in some small way, impacted negatively on our environment.
New cartridges used in office equipment such as printers and faxes are consuming landfill sites at a rate we cannot sustain. When manufactured, new ink and toner cartridges use vital fossil fuels like crude oil.
Disposed plastic office supplies, such as printers and ink & toner cartridges usually end up in landfill sites and can take up to 500 years to fully decompose.
Unless we elect to stop using these products a sensible solution must be found to more efficiently use our earth’s resources.
But with genuine ink fetching higher prices per ounce than fine wine, crude oil, and many perfumes - the big ink manufacturers will not give up easily.
There is a Solution
One Australian franchise company is making a difference to our environment as well as to our hip pocket. Recognised for their environmental management and their sound business systems, The Ink Shop is a one-stop-shop for all things that print.
But perhaps more importantly is the contribution being made by The Ink Shop to Australian waste management.
Professionally remanufacturing empty ink and toner cartridges saves them from landfill, reduces natural resources required to produce new cartridges and saves the consumer a considerable amount of money. Even if your cartridge cannot be re-used it can be recycled and returned to our community in the form of park seating, or perhaps a simple tent peg.
Our Environment Deserves the Truth – Ask the right questions!
Does your consumable supplier remanufacture printer, fax and copier cartridges?
Do they offer you a significant cost saving?
Do they dispose of potentially harmful waste through accredited environmental processes?
Do they make any new products from the waste collected?
Do they offer you a 100% money-back guarantee?
If your cartridge supplier does not answer YES to all the questions above, then please consider using The Ink Shop business services - Caring for our environment and keeping Australia printing. 08.10.2008
