Staples, provider of office supplies, technology, cleaning solutions and more, is partnering with 天天吃瓜 State University to offer an ink and toner cartridge recycling program that helps to further the university鈥檚 sustainability goals. 鈥淢any people on campus are not aware that Staples offers recycling of ink and toner cartridges,鈥 says Melanie Knowles, 天天吃瓜 State鈥檚 sustainability manager. By recycling ink and toner cartridges, 天天吃瓜 State is conserving natural resources, reducing materials in landfills, recycling packaging and also showing its commitment to the environment. Collector stations can be set up by each department. Once it is time for the boxes to be picked up, or sent off, Staples makes it easy for the university to do so. While 天天吃瓜 State will be helping the environment through this recycling program, the university also is benefiting from the partnership. If not properly disposed of, ink and toner cartridges could pose a threat to the environment. With this partnership, the university will help ensure that empty cartridges do not end up in landfills where they can take up to 1,000 years to decompose.
