Local Firm Helps Businesses Cut Office Waste by 2,000 KG Since Civic Strike Began

Printer cartridge firm supplies product that helps reduce plastic disposal to local landfills in Vancouver, British Columbia.

September 12, 2007 (FPRC) -- VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - Digitech, a Vancouver-based supplier of renewable laser printer cartridges has helped lower mainland businesses keep 2,000 KG of plastic out of landfills as the city struggles to lessen its garbage load during the nine-week old civic workers strike.

Digitech uses a unique process to create a renewed laser toner cartridge by disassembling and recycling used ones, rather than just re-filling it with new toner ink. The renewable cartridges are virtually leak-proof and guaranteed for one year.

"Rather than turn a blind eye to the piles of garbage collecting in our allies and streets due to the current civic strike, local businesses can use it as a catalyst to find ways to reduce their own office waste," said Dave McConachie, president of Digitech. "Companies who use our renewable cartridges reduce plastic that would otherwise end up in our landfills. Our product makes it simple for businesses to be more green without any sacrifice in quality or pricing."

Since the company's inception in 1991, Digitech has helped its clients across British Columbia keep over 192,000 KG of plastic out of the landfills. As plastics account for about 8 percent of the weight and 20 percent of the volume in landfills, even a small company can make an impact by ensuring their cartridges are re-used. With a year-long guarantee and performance that rivals new cartridges, a growing number of companies are switching to renewable.
