 But now there’s a solution available right in our community. At Rapid Refill Ink
in Virginia Beach, you can bring in your empty inkjet and laser toner cartridges and replace them with remanufactured cartridges that are compatible with your printer. The store carries over 1,000 different inkjet cartridges and 200 models of laser toner cartridges, including new cartridges by manufacturers like HP, Dell, Lexmark, Brother, Canon and Epson and more.
There’s a growing awareness of the need for proper recycling of spent ink cartridges. Our remanufacturing keeps them out of the waste stream and saves consumers money, too. In fact, remanufactured cartridges typically save a consumer up to 50% over the cost of new cartridges.
Seven Years of Recycling
Rapid Refill Ink’s commitment to being an environmentally friendly business goes back to the company’s founding by Dan P. White in 2002. A biologist by education, White realized that refilling and remanufacturing cartridges wasn’t just good environmental sense, it was good business sense. Now in its eighth year, Rapid Refill Ink has grown from a single store in Eugene, Oregon, to more than 90 stores in 38 states.
Still, we acknowledge that changing ink purchasing habits usually requires a combination of education and reassurance, even for those customers who are predisposed to recycling.
The first question everyone has is whether a refilled cartridge will damage my printer. And the answer is absolutely not. Using remanufactured cartridges won’t void your warranty, either.”
Other companies that recycle inkjet and toner cartridges ship the cartridges overseas, where they’re often reprocessed or disposed of in ways that are hazardous to the local people and environment. Rapid Refill Ink uses on-site, state-of-the-art technology to safely and efficiently refill each cartridge. A six-step quality control process ensures that your remanufactured cartridge will produce quality prints.
With proper care and maintenance, cartridges can be remanufactured as much as five times, helping to reduce the amount of plastic in our landfills.
A Storewide Commitment
As part of the company’s mission to promote recycling and environmental responsibility, Rapid Refill Ink’s stores use recycled materials wherever possible. The slat wall is made from wheat stock and countertops are made from crushed sunflower seed shells. Even the packaging is printed using recycled materials.
Our company motto is Rethink, Reuse, Recycle, Reink. So when people come into our store, they’re immediately surrounded by high quality recycled products.
Rapid Refill Ink store design reflects the company’s focus on recycling. The counter top is made from recycled sunflower seeds, and the slate wall is made from wheat stock. The front counter also displays a mural depicting four ecospheres and over 60 endangered species from all over the world.
