The environmental cost of printing
One of the things that increase your carbon footprint is the amount of printing you do in the office – circulars, memos, newsletters, correspondence, bills, invoices, records, legal documents – the list goes on. It isn't just the paper you use – you are probably socially and environmentally aware enough to print only what is really required.

Also, have you given a thought to discarded cartridges – where do they end up when they are exhausted? Well typically, you toss that empty ink cartridge into the trash after you're done with it. Via your garbage it reaches the landfill and stays there for a really, really long time, in the meanwhile polluting soil as well as waterways.
An estimated 350 million used ink cartridges end up in landfills every year – this is a staggering amount. And here’s something else that is staggering: it will probably take a thousand years for that cartridge to decompose!
Is this the only thing you can do with a used cartridge? Can you do anything to make your printing more environmentally friendly?
Recycle your ink cartridges
Another option is to buy re-manufactured ink cartridges (learn more about environment friendly ink cartridges). It is possible to reuse one cartridge 2 to 3 times by refilling it. This can help to keep several pounds of waste out of landfills each time you use a re-manufactured ink cartridge and will also help save a significant amount of energy and oil.
This can, in the end, help to make your business more environmentally friendly. This helps lower your carbon foot print and helps you make that little extra effort to make your business greener and more sustainable. This is beneficial to your community and to the environment because your business is contributing much less to environment pollution. Plus you have the satisfaction of knowing that you worked towards fulfilling your corporate social responsibility at least to some extent.
