- For every cartridge that is remanufactured, approximately 2-1/2 pounds of plastic is withheld from the waste stream.*
- Stacked one on top
of the other, a tower of cartridges produced annually by an average
remanufacturer would exceed the height of the Empire State Building.*
- The manufacturing process
involved in making a new cartridge requires the burning of fossil
fuel, specifically oil or natural gas. On average, three
quarts of oil are burned to make each new cartridge.*
