Recycled Ink & Toner Cartridge Business Diverts 493 Tons of E-Waste From Landfills in 2010 InkCycle, a company with a recycled line of ink and toner cartridges known as grenk, diverted 493 tons of electronic waste from landfills and recycled 588,209 pounds of inkjets and 397,718 pounds of toner cartridges in 2010. Last year, the company worked to educate national media, trade press, consumers and area businesses about the benefits of recycling e-waste through their blog, press releases, web videos, case studies, Twitter and Facebook. Brad Roderick, executive vice president of InkCycle and environmentalist, said that this outreach project was an opportunity to increase awareness about recycling electronic waste in Kansas City and around the world. "We connected with our clients, partners and vendors to find out what InkCycle could do to expand education about recycling electronic waste. The grenk blog, Twitter, Facebook, press releases, media coverage and Web videos were all ways that InkCycle engaged people about remanufactured ink and toner recycling," said Roderick. Roderick added that clients such as UMB Bank, Hangers Cleaners and Barkley all participated in the e-waste recycling project by sharing their sustainability goals, efforts and results.
