Budget-friendly cartridges offer OEM quality and environmental accountability<\/em><\/p>\n

McHenry, IL, July 27, 2015<\/em> \u2013 Buying a new laser printer toner cartridge might just be the greenest thing you do today.<\/p>\n

The new ProEarth Laser Toner Cartridge\u2122 offers high-quality printing while being environmentally sustainable at a competitive price point.\u00a0 The design of the new cartridges is unique compared with other OEM-compatible print cartridges that often have no recycling path.\u00a0 ProEarth toner cartridges are 100 percent recyclable.<\/p>\n

Priced at up to 50 percent less than OEM printer cartridges, ProEarth toners are a smart solution for personal use, and for companies that place an equally high priority on environmental and fiscal responsibility.<\/p>\n

Rigorous Testing, Accountable Recycling<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cartridge recycling is a serious challenge for the industry, with more than 300 million cartridges filling landfills each year.\u00a0 The U.S. EPA has classified toner cartridges as a \u201cfocused material,\u201d requiring special handling in disposal and recycling.<\/p>\n

\u201cProEarth toners give consumers the confidence that their toner will perform well and not add to the growing problem of cartridges in landfills,\u201d says Harry Nicodem, president of ProEarth Toners.<\/p>\n

A 20-year veteran of the print cartridge industry, Nicodem has designed numerous innovative cartridge products focused to recycling and reuse. \u201cWith the introduction of ProEarth Toners, we are holding ourselves to a new, higher standard of accountability,\u201d he notes.<\/p>\n

The new toners feature a patent-pending tracking system coded onto each cartridge to provide accountability and responsible recycling. Through the ProEarth program, cartridges are disassembled and properly downstreamed.<\/p>\n

Motivation to Recycle<\/strong><\/p>\n

ProEarth provides built-in incentives for customers to return and recycle the toner cartridges.\u00a0 For every ProEarth cartridge returned to the company, ProEarth will email the customer a $5 voucher toward a future purchase, plus, make a donation to plant a tree.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal was to make doing the right thing easier for our customers,\u201d says Nicodem.\u00a0 \u201cWe know that people want to recycle their cartridges, but there\u2019s a lack of consistent, accountable recycling systems in place, especially for compatible cartridges.\u00a0 By incentivizing people with a $5 coupon and a commitment to plant trees for every ProEarth cartridge returned, we remove a lot of the barriers to recycling.\u201d<\/p>\n
