REVOLUTION: Soy Toner To Replace millions of pounds of Oil Toner in Laser Printers

Print Recovery Concepts, Inc., has announced an environmental breakthrough in clean energy office printing for businesses, schools, colleges, government and other office-driven institutions. They were the first company to offer laser printer cartridges using soybean toner powder. Laser cartridges are supplied by Print Recovery Concepts under the SoyPrint™ brand at prices competitive with brand name, currently available oil-based cartridges. Although soy ink has been available for a while, this is the first time the soy-based choice has been offered in laser cartridges.

Industry experts report that making one pound of oil-based toner requires roughly 2 liters of oil. Currently, U.S. businesses, institutions and governmental bodies use more than 100 million cartridges annually. That amounts to 100 million pounds or 50,000 tons of petroleum material to produce the current demand for toner cartridges. Now every office has a choice – they can print black or they can print “green” with this innovative clean energy office product.

Extensive testing of the SoyPrint laser cartridges has been done by PRC. Debe Overhaug, president of Print Recovery Concepts, Inc., stated that the print quality of soy print cartridges matches traditional leading brand name cartridges. She also said soy cartridges print the same number of pages as similar oil-based cartridges and does no harm to the printer itself. “Buyers can now demand a quality product AND a green product. They can have it both ways,” claims Overhaug.

SoyPrint™ cartridges are Made in the USA and are fully warrantied. Cartridges are shipped direct to customers from strategically located warehouses all over the United States.

Sustainable printing now possible
When they first announced SoyPrint™ cartridges, PRC contended that any office could now choose to print in a green, renewable, clean energy manner. The Sustainable Printing Program encompasses the whole process of printing. They start with high quality, compatible SoyPrint™ toner cartridges which use powdered toner made from soybeans rather than oil. These soy cartridges are labeled with a SoyPrint™ mark, which makes them easy to recognize. Their program encourages consumers to use recycled paper and proper recycling and disposal of used printers. Offices can drastically cut their impact on the planet’s environmental by choosing to adopt this program.

Sustainable Printing Tips:
* Use SoyPrint compatible, recycled cartridges. Save 3 pounds of heavy plastic from landfills and use bio-based toner!
* Use SoyPrint’s UPS return labels to send empty cartridges back to be recycled into various new plastic products.
* Use recycled paper, readily available everywhere.

When replacing a printer, donate the old one to a local school district or an office products recycling company. This helps reduce the waste created by electronic products! SoyPrint has the ability to refer you to such schools.

PRC’s customers receive impact reports tracking Sustainable Printing. These reports include:
* Pounds of SoyPrint toner used
* Pounds of heavy plastic recycled
* Number of reams of recycled paper consumed.
