Recycle Your Printer Cartridges the Eco Way!
By Caroline Speirs
You may have heard that refilling cartridges can break them or result in poor quality, but those are stories from the past when this method first started. Tahar Houari of I-matek has been operating his shop in Pointe-Claire for 13 years. He tells us why refilling your inkjet or laserjet printer cartridges is a good idea:
1. Cost: It’s less expensive than purchasing a new cartridge.
2. Environment: Refilling means not producing more plastic or bringing more products from overseas, and it reduces the use of single-use packaging.
3. It’s easy: Just bring it to the shop in a resealable bag or a box.
Cartridge refilling has been around for years, so consider refilling instead of tossing it the next time you run out of ink! Or bring your non-refillable cartridge in for recycling! I-matek also repairs printers and computers.
