Protecting your environment
Each year millions of empty cartridges are consigned to landfill sites. Quite apart from the questions that this practice raises, it also means that millions more will need to be manufactured, shipped, sold and delivered to replace these prematurely discarded electronic devices.
For some years, manufacturers have been trying to refill these empty cartridges to save on all that manufacturing cost, effort, pollution, transport and distribution resource. Unfortunately, there have been refill quality issues, and the transportation costs have somewhat offset the environmental benefits.
Ink cartridges are difficult to refill and state-of-the-art equipment is required, so home-based or local attempts have met with varied success. Therefore, the most successful recharging has, to date, been done in large factories specialising in this as a business.
From the environmental point of view, this is not the success you may think. Such factories may well save many empties going into landfills, but to acquire the empties for recharging, they often transport them great distances with the associated use of fuel and pollution. From that point forward, the supply chain works in the same way as with a 'new' cartridge; it must be filled, packed, shipped, often to a wholesaler, and then delivered on to the retailer and finally transported home by the customer.
Cartridge Expert works largely at a local level. We install a machine at local retailer site and all we need to deliver, from time to time, is ink and some protective tape. This represents a small fraction of the transport requirement of a factory 'remanufactured' cartridge.
In addition, we do not need to acquire empty cartridges from the other side of the world. Our customers can walk into their local Cartridge Expert site and have THEIR OWN cartridge recharged in front of their eyes. No shipping - no waiting - no transportation.
The Cartridge Expert Pro Vac System uses patented technology to refill a cartridge using small paratactic pumps for ink delivery and a powerful vacuum pump for quality. Our technology allows this to take place without the traditional use of costly and power hungry air compressors.
The ink is high quality water based ink that is non-hazardous. There is little waste, the ink is supplied in a sealed, recyclable container.
