Why Use Green Products From Alltech?
Did You Know That…?
- There are 22 printer cartridges thrown away every 60 seconds-8 of them are in the U.S.-for a total of nearly 700 million annually.
- The “paperless office” has actually resulted in the desktop printing market increasing by 20% each year.
- For every $1,000 customers spend this year on their “paperless office”, they will spend $1,200 next year.

Why Should You Use Green Products from Alltech?
Because they are recyclable
- A typical toner cartridge weighs approximately 3 pounds and is made of 40% metal, 40% plastic and smaller amounts of rubber, paper, foam and toner.
- Plastic is made from engineering grade polymer and takes approximately 1,000 years to decompose.
Because they conserve natural resources
- Using locally remanufactured toner cartridges reduces pollutions and waste by decreasing the amount of materials disposed of in landfills.
- Each time a new ink cartridge is made 3 quarts of oil are used; however, using recycled cartridges avoids this.
Because it saves you money
- Compatible remanufactured ink and toner cartridges cost 30% to 60% less than Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) cartridges.
