this is big.
prc technologies is offering soyprint, the world's first line of soy-based ink cartridges for laser printers. soy-based inks have never before been offered as laser cartridges, and this breakthrough makes it possible for all home and office laser printers to use this eco-friendly alternative to oil-based inks.
each year u.s. businesses, institutions and our government consume more than 100 million ink cartridges per year, which equates to 50,000 tons of oil-based toner and an unfathomable amount of plastic waste. soyprint cartridges are recycled, and furthermore are part of a larger sustainable printing program which involves the entire printing process, from printing to paper to recycling. look for the cartridges in office supply stores later this year.
