How is an ink or toner cartridge recycled?
Each ink and toner cartridge that is dropped off for recycling at any STAPLES Business Depot/BUREAU EN GROS store is sent to a remanufacturing plant. Upon receipt of the cartridges the following occurs: • Cartridges are critically analyzed for reuse/remanufacturing. • Any old ink remaining is removed from the cartridges so they can be remanufactured and thoroughly cleaned using a patent cleaning process. • If necessary, the cartridge is disassembled and replacement components are reassembled. • Cartridges are then filled with the highest quality ink, specifically formulated for vivid colours and bold blacks. • All cartridges are tested to ensure quality performance before purchase. Slight variations in the above process may occur based on the type of cartridge.
