| Through our remanufacturing of laser toner cartridges, Laser Exchange is at the forefront of working towards a safer, cleaner environment. An empty laser toner cartridge itself weighs several kilograms and includes substantial plastic, metal and oil in it’s manufacture.
Laser Exchange recycles over 2000 laser toner
cartridges every month. This achievement results
in excess of 1.5 tons of plastic and metals being
saved from landfill and in excess of 3000 litres
of oil. To put this into some kind of perspective,
the plastic and metal saved equates to 16 standard
domestic fridges every month!
Another issue to consider is the plastic used
within the cartridges themselves. They are made
from a special polymer material which is effectively
non bio degradable. It has been said that if were
to place an empty laser toner cartridge in landfill
today that cartridge would remain in the original
format if we were to plan a return visit in a
thousand years!
