Office Depot Boosts Toner Recycling Program

Office Depot, Inc. announced the latest enhancement of its ink and toner recycling program. Now through March 31, customers who return eligible used ink and toner cartridges to any Office Depot store in the U.S. will be given the choice of receiving one free ream of the company's EnviroCopy 35 percent post-consumer recycled content paper or saving $2.50 on their next purchase of any ink, toner or fax product.

Since the program launched in January 2002, more than 12 million ink and toner cartridges have been recycled and the initiative has been expanded to include retail customers, business customers and Office Depot employees around the world.

"The program is part of Office Depot's ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship," noted Tyler Elm, Director of Environmental Affairs for Office Depot, "and just one of our strategic initiatives designed to both increase the use of environmentally preferable products and to educate customers as to the benefits of recycling."
