Member advertisment: CARTRIDGE WORLD

THE environment is on everyone's minds, but some aspects of modern technology conflict with it. Locally owned Cartridge World Alice Springs is dedicated to the three R's -- reduce, reuse and recycle.
Millions of printer cartridges are thrown away across Australia each year, but reusing and recycling them is an alternative. Laser print cartridges account for more than 90 per cent of all throw-away cartridges and each one can take 450 years to decompose. With increased use of office printers, the demand for print cartridges has grown enormously.
About 3.4 litres of fuel is used to produce one new laser cartridge.
Recycling cartridges can save about 10 million litres of oil in Australia.
To reduce the production of these mass-produced cartridges overseas, it is essential that cartridges are reused as many times as possible. The plastic and metal components within the cartridges can be reused many times -- the plastic alone has a lifespan of 400 years.
Even if you do not reuse, others do.
Cartridge World Alice Springs always requires cartridges for reuse, and when they can't be reused any more they will be recycled.
By reusing and recycling, we can reduce the importation of cartridges while creating jobs for Australian remanufacturer's.
Refilling and remanufacturing, not only helps the environment but creates employment for local people, as this we produce locally.
We can refill & remanufacture most ink and laser cartridges in store. It produces a top quality, reliable product and there is a 100 per cent money-back guarantee.
Cartridge World in Alice Springs is one of more than 1300 Cartridge World stores world-wide.
The Alice Springs store services the region including Yulara, Tennant Creek and each of the surrounding borders, with a free local delivery and pick-up service within Alice Springs.
Using a recycled cartridge helps save the environment and makes a saving for the consumer.
