Commitment to the Environment

On an annual basis, West Point Products remanufactures more than 1 million toner cartridges, which is equivalent to saving nearly 1 million gallons of oil.

West Point Products is dedicated to fueling our economy and bringing prosperity into our communities. All of our products are exclusively produced at our US and Canadian manufacturing facilities, where high environmental standards are of the utmost importance.

As a part of our efforts to redirect waste from landfills, West Point Products has developed a sophisticated process to collect and re-use empty cartridge cores. In doing so, West Point Products not only ensures that cores are diverted from landfill, but also adds value to products that would otherwise become part of the waste stream. More information about West Point Products' core collection can be found here .

In addition to proper disposal of waste products, we also strive to include environmentally preferred activities and materials within our own operations.
The following is just a sample of some of the operational practices that reduces our impact on the environment.

• Boxes – the boxes used for our products are made with more than 40% recycled material
• Packing Paper – contains over 20% of recycled materials
• Packaging Material – does not contain any harsh chemicals that are associated with depletion of the ozone layer
• Wood Pallets – only recycled wood pallets are used and sent for recycling at end-of-life
