About 80% of what Americans throw away is recyclable, yet our recycling rate is just 28%.

As the evidence continues to mount, the statistics are staggering. The amount of waste the world is generating continues to rise and the negative impact this is having on our natural resources and environment is significant. According to Recharger Magazine, "Each year, more than 300 million plastic printer cartridges end up dumped in landfills in the United States and around the world." Clover’s goal is to positively affect these numbers and reduce landfill waste through the remanufacturing of imaging supplies and the recycling of office supplies and small electronics.

The research clearly demonstrates that remanufactured ink and toner cartridges are the most ecologically responsible choice. The U.S. Dept. of Energy Office of Industrial Technologies has articulated that "for every cartridge that is remanufactured, over a pound of plastics is withheld from the waste stream." They go on to state that, "Although recycling of toner cartridges does have a number of benefits, remanufacturing is a superior choice, both environmentally and economically." Through the remanufacturing of cartridges, the recycling of small electronics and a goal of zero landfill waste, Clover is revolutionizing the industry and changing the way companies think about waste.

At Clover, we believe that we can have a significant positive impact on the environment. As an organization, we are committed to investing our time, money and resources into creating innovative environmental solutions that will make the communities where we work and live a cleaner and better place.
