Toner Recycling 101: How Your Office Can Be More Eco-Friendly

Are you looking for practical ways to make your business greener? 

Wondering what happens to those empty toner cartridges piling up in your supply closet? 

This guide explains how easy toner recycling can be for small offices, its impact on the environment, and how MCS makes it simple for local businesses to reduce waste.

Every small business creates a surprising amount of plastic and metal waste from used printer toners. Here’s how you can make a difference by recycling:

• Why Toner Cartridge Recycling Matters
  Every year, millions of cartridges end up in landfills, taking centuries to decompose. Recycling helps recover plastic, metals, and other valuable materials, reducing pollution and conserving natural resources.
• Environmental Impact
  Just one recycled cartridge saves about 2 pounds of metal and plastic and conserves up to a gallon of oil. By recycling, your small business reduces both waste and your carbon footprint.
• How to Recycle Effectively
  • Collect used toner cartridges in a central box or bin.
  • Partner with a local tech vendor like MCS that offers drop-off programs making recycling quick and hassle-free.
  • Double-check with your vendor about which brands or types of cartridges they can accept.
• Community and Business Benefits
  By keeping recycling local, you’re shrinking carbon emissions from transportation, and setting an example of good environmental stewardship for your staff and clients.
