Office Depot, Inc., announced the extension of its ink and toner recycling program for an additional six months. It will now run until March 1, 2004.
The program, which began in January 2003 in more than 800 Office Depot locations throughout North America, offers customers the opportunity to receive one free ream of Office Depot's EnviroCopy 35 percent post-consumer recycled content paper when they return used ink and toner cartridges to participating stores.
Over the last eight months, more than one million cartridges have been recycled.
"Extending our ink and toner recycling program allows us to continue educating customers as to the benefits of recycling, encourages customers to try recycled paper and clearly demonstrates the performance and high quality of our 35 percent PCR EnviroCopy brand paper for copying and printing," said Alex Weatherall, vice president of Office Supply Merchandising for Office Depot. "We are committed to implementing initiatives that expand the market for recycled products."
As part of Office Depot's commitment, Weatherall noted that the company recently converted its Copy & Print Centers (CPCs) to use recycled paper. All CPCs -- more than 870 in North America -- now use Office Depot's EnviroCopy paper as the default type for black and white copies in all high-speed and self-service copy machines. This benefit is provided at no additional charge to customers.Latest from Recycling Today
