Cartridge World Supports Go Green Initiative for Environmental Education
EMERYVILLE, Calif. — Cartridge World, a printer ink cartridge refilling and remanufacturing retailer, announced it has partnered with the Go Green Initiative, a non-profit organization dedicated to creating a culture of environmental responsibility, for its “Students & Teachers Unite” September promotion.
The “Students & Teachers Unite” promotion will give students, teachers and PTA members who present valid K-12 identifications a 20 percent discount on refilled or remanufactured printer cartridges when they exchange an empty cartridge. Cartridge World also announced it is donating $10,000 to the Go Green Initiative, and will distribute its educational materials to schools around the nation.
Cartridge World is no stranger to helping local environmental support initiatives. The company has an established recycling fundraising program with community groups, schools and businesses throughout the nation. The fundraising programs invite participants to collect empty ink and toner cartridges, and Cartridge World will offer to buy back those cartridges to ensure each one is recycled properly.
“Cartridge World’s program provides our client schools with an ideal opportunity to put the principles of the Go Green Initiative (GGI) into action,” said GGI Founder Jill Buck.
Since January 2006, schools participating in the GGI have removed 39.6 million pounds of recyclable material from the U.S. waste stream.
“This is a great way for Cartridge World to help give back to schools in communities around the nation,” said Cartridge World CEO Burt Yarkin. “The schools can use the money they save on cartridges for needed supplies and fundraising efforts.”
