- Remanufactured toner cartridges are cartridges that have been used at least once and then disassembled and cleaned, had worn parts replaced, and then refilled with toner.
- On a per-copy basis, remanufactured toner cartridges typically cost 30% to 60% less than new cartridge
- More than 27 million remanufactured toner cartridges are produced each year in Canada
- Buying locally remanufactured toner and inkjet cartridges is an easy way to close the loop on cartridges, save substantial dollars and keep local dollars circulating within the province’s economy.

Remanufactured toner cartridges should not damage the copy machine. Printer damage resulting from a defective toner cartridge is rare and usually very minor. A properly remanufactured cartridge is no more likely to cause damage to a machine than a new cartridge. Additionally, anti-trust legislation prohibits copier and printer manufacturers from voiding their warranties when remanufactured toner cartridges are used in their machines.
